RICHARDSON, Texas (April 23, 2003) - Dr. Louis R. "Bob" Hunt, a highly regarded, veteran professor in the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science, has been selected teacher of the year at The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) for the 2002-2003 academic year.
The award, which is provided each year by The University of Texas System Chancellor's Council to recognize excellence in teaching at each of the system's nine general academic institutions, is accompanied by a $5,000 prize and will be presented to Hunt May 9 at an Honors Convocation in the Conference Center on campus.

Cirasys Inc., a spinoff company based on technology developed by researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas, recently received $250,000 from the Texas Emerging Technology Fund (TETF).
If certain milestones are met, the company could receive up to $750,000 more, said Paul Nichols, vice president of marketing at Cirasys and a UT Dallas alumnus (BA’95, MBA’98).
Located at UT Dallas’ Venture Development Center, a facility that houses several UT Dallas spinoff companies, Cirasys is focused on developing next-generation digital control and conversion technology for power converters. Power converters take power from a source, such as a wall plug or battery, and convert it to a voltage that is needed by a particular electronic device.

Hunt was known for his pioneering work in the 1980s that paved the way for dynamic control systems that make operations such as automated flight control possible. Hunt, who retired in 2009, was a beloved instructor who received in 2003 a UT System Chancellor’s Council Outstanding Teaching Award. He was also a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
