The American Society of Plant Biologists announced that it will present awards to Deborah Delmer, professor emeritus of plant biology, and Ravi Maruthachalam, postdoctoral researcher. The new fellows are due to receive certificates and pins during IFAC World Congress in Milan, Italy, in September. The federation honored him for his contributions to the geometric theory of nonlinear control and estimation. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a member of the Institute of Medicine, the health arm of the National Academy of Sciences.Īrt Krener, professor emeritus of mathematics, has been appointed a fellow of the International Federation of Automatic Control, which represents engineering and scientific societies concerned with automatic control in about 50 countries. He joined the UC Davis faculty in 2003 and served as chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering from 2005 to 2008. His work has had a major impact on the definition of this field, which combines computer science, mathematics and engineering with molecular biology, the study of evolution and synthetic biology. Savageau is a pioneer in what is now known as systems biology. Savageau, distinguished professor of biomedical engineering, recently received an honorary doctorate from the University of Lleida in Spain. Polonik’s citation recognizes his “many important and mathematically challenging results in nonparametric regression and time series, often involving the rigorous application of nontrivial techniques for handling empirical processes and for editorial service.” Fellowship is awarded for distinction in research in statistics and probability. Professor Wolfgang Polonik, chair of the Department of Statistics, has been elected a fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. Studies have examined forms of climate change, water markets, Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta water management, infrastructure capacity expansion, water conservation, water reuse and desalination, and dam removal. The CALVIN economic-engineering optimization model of California’s vast water supply system has been developed and applied by Lund and numerous colleagues since 2001 to analyze many water policies, management and scenarios. His award citation reads: “For fundamental contributions to the fields of water resource systems management and resource economics, for leadership that addressed the complex water resource challenges in California and other regions, and for the conceptualization and development of the CALVIN optimization model.” Lund accepted the award during the World Environmental and Water Resources Congress in Palm Springs the last week of May. It is the most prestigious award in the field of water resources planning, development and management. Krone Chair of Environmental Engineering and serves as the director of the Center for Watershed Sciences, is the 2011 recipient of the American Society of Civil Engineers’ Julian Hinds Award.
