NPS Student Receives Award

As part of a quarterly chapter tradition, Dr. Thomas Kailath presented Lt. Nathan Geisinger, USN, a student at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), with the AFCEA Winter Quarter 2010 Honor award at the school's March pre-graduation ceremony. Kailath also presented a volume of the Principles of Communication Engineering, co-written by the late Jack Wozencraft, a communications pioneer and former NPS professor. Kailath, Wozencraft's first Massachusetts Institute of Technology doctoral student back in 1961, included his personal inscription to Lt. Geisinger on behalf of the Wozencraft family. The book's co-author, Dr. Irwin Jacobs, also wrote a special inscription wishing Lt. Geisinger the best in his future career in advancing communications technology. The lieutenant will be assigned to the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command Center Atlantic, Charleston, South Carolina.
