Two faculty members from the Texas A&M University College of Engineering were selected to receive a 2020 Distinguished Achievement Award for research from Texas A&M and The Association of Former Students. They were among 24 outstanding members of the university’s faculty and staff to be honored.
The 2020 recipients from the College of Engineering were Dr. Yu Ding, professor, Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering; and Dr. Helen L. Reed, Regents Professor, Department of Aerospace Engineering.
The university-level Distinguished Achievement Awards were first presented in 1955 and have since been awarded to more than 1,000 professionals who have exhibited the highest standards of excellence at Texas A&M.
In recognition of their achievements, each recipient receives a cash gift, an engraved watch and a commemorative plaque. In lieu of an in-person ceremony honoring recipients, the university is formally celebrating their accomplishments through other channels.
