Recognizing Excellence: RTCA Annual Awards The William E. Jackson Award In addition to recognizing its outstanding volunteers, each year RTCA presents the William E. Jackson Award to an exceptional student in the field of aviation electronics and telecommunications. The award memorializes William E. Jackson, a pioneer in the development and implementation of many electronic aids to air navigation and the nation’s air traffic control system. He was instrumental in the formation of RTCA (then known as the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics) in 1935 and served as its second chairman in 1937. Mr. Jackson was particularly interested in assisting young engineers seeking a career in aviation electronics. Dr. Yan Wan Engineering students are invited to submit a paper documenting original work in the field of aviation electronics. The papers are reviewed by a selection committee representing a broad cross section of the aviation community. The author of the paper deemed best by the committee receives the William E. Jackson Award and is presented with a personalized plaque and $4,000 honorarium at the annual RTCA awards luncheon. Dr. Yan Wan was recognized as the winner of the William E. Jackson Award for 2008. Yan Wan received her Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Washington State University in 2008. She served as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and joined the faculty of the University of North Texas in 2009. Dr. Wan’s research interest lies in network design and control, in particular, developing tools for design and control problems in modern dynamical networks, and applying such tools to air traffic flow management among several other large-scale network applications. Her work is expected to contribute to obtaining improved practical strategies for networked flow management in the increasingly complex National Airspace System (NAS). Dr. Wan was honored for her research and outstanding contribution to aviation as reflected in her winning paper titled: A Scalable Methodology for Evaluating and Designing Coordinated Air Traffic Flow Management Strategies Under Uncertainty. 2009 Annual Report • RTCA 17
