Jonsson School Professors Named Fellows of National Tech Groups

Two Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science professors at The University of Texas at Dallas have received top honors from professional technology organizations for outstanding achievements in their fields.

Two Papers Considered Classic by Google Scholar

The work of two Jonsson School professors made it onto Google Scholar’s list of classic papers, a collection that showcases highly-cited papers that have stood the test of time. Google lists the ten most-cited articles that were published ten years prior in different research areas; the first release of classic papers consists of articles that were published in 2006.
Dr. Mark W. Spong’s paper with a postdoctoral student, “Passive bilateral teleoperation with constant time delay,” made the list of the ten most-cited paper in robotics. Spong, holder of the Excellence in Education Chair, directs the Laboratory for Autonomous Robotics and Systems (LARS). And Haas, holder of the Distinguished Chair in Computer Science, directs the Wireless Networks Lab.
