MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN
It’s a bit late, but Happy New Year!
We have received positive feedback on this eNewsletter. We are going to a monthly schedule, but we will keep them shorter.
One of the articles in this issue highlights Prof. Sangwoo Shin from ME, who won a UH Mānoa internal competition to compete in the international Falling Walls event in Berlin! He is doing some amazing research; read about what he “pitched” in Berlin.
We also have an interview with Dr. Fujio Matsuda, reflecting on his very distinguished career. Among his many achievements, he was a former civil engineering professor and university president.
We are starting a new, ongoing feature providing brief updates on retired faculty. If you’ve ever wondered what some your old professors are up to, this is the source to visit! In this issue, we highlight one professor from each department.
I hope everyone finds something of interest in this newsletter. As always, please feel free to send me comments or suggestions for the next one.
