Krystal was honored at the Spring 2024 Convocation Awards as a recipient of this year’s William N. Sharpe, Jr. Award for Student Involvement. Bill Sharpe founded our department and was a beloved senior colleague of mine when I arrived, so it is wonderful to see our undergraduate researcher receive this honor. Congrats Krystal!
Congratulations to Dr. Siming Deng for successfully defending his dissertation, entitled “Modeling and Gait Control for Principally Kinematic Locomotion Systems” today, December 15, 2023.
The IEEE Board of Directors, at its November 2023 meeting, elevated Noah Cowan to IEEE Fellow, effective 1 January 2024 “for contributions to sensing, navigation, and control in animals and machines”.
Mr. Yu Yang, PhD student in the LIMBS laboratory, has received multiple TA awards, including the Whiting School of Engineering Teaching Assistant Award and the Creel Family Teaching Award in Mechanical Engineering, the latter of which puts him in the company of multiple LIMBS lab members (Di Cao, Brian Woronowicz, and Shahin Lashkari). Congrats, Yu!
Saba Zerefa, a visiting summer REU student from Harvard, presented her work entitled “Making Sense: Decoding active sensing via tracking behavior in weakly electric fish” for the annual LCSR REU program presentations on Friday August 5, 2022.
Great work!!

Michael Wilkinson and Bharath Krishnan were both awarded prestigious Doctoral Fellowships from the Kavli Neuroscience Discovery Institute. Michael’s project is supervised by Prof. Cowan and co-supervised by Prof. Cindy Moss (PBS Dept) and Barath’s primary advisor is James Knierim (Neuroscience Dept.) and co-supervised by Prof. Cowan.
Congrats!
Brian Woronowicz has earned the Creel Family Teaching award in recognition for his outstanding effort teaching graduate Linear Systems. Brian joins two other LIMBS lab members, Di Cao and Shahin Lashkari, who won this award in previous years.
It is my pleasure to announce that Di Cao was chosen as a recipient of the JHU Department of Mechanical Engineering’s Creel Family Teaching Assistant Award for the 2020-2021 academic year. Congratulations!
