The A.V. ‘Bal’ Balakrishnan Award for Excellence in Scientific Research in the Mathematics of Systems was established by the Viterbi School of Engineering at the University of Southern California (USC) through a generous gift from Mrs. Sophia Balakrishnan honoring the memory of her late husband Professor A. V. ‘Bal’ Balakrishnan, a well-known researcher and Professor in the area of the Mathematics of Systems. There are two awards, an Early Career Award and a Research Award, alternating every other year, with the Early Career Award awarded in odd-numbered years and the Research Award in even-numbered years.
Nominations for the Early Career Award are acceptable for the year 2023. The award is given for research work that has been done within 10 years of the awardee’s PhD. The nominees should be faculty in a US Institution at the time of nomination. The award is based on the work’s potential and promise, as well as the researcher’s career accomplishments or contributions to the field. The Early Career Award carries an honorarium of $5,000. The Awardee will be required to give a lecture at USC in order to receive the award. The lecture event will be hosted by the USC Viterbi School of Engineering in Fall of 2023.
