Karlstrom Outstanding Educator Award.\u00a0 More detail is available on his web site \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.ece.utexas.edu\/~patt\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003Ewww.ece.utexas.edu\/~patt\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27154","created_gmt":"2010-02-11 15:51:40","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:49:43","author":"Louise Russo","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2009-09-25T12:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2009-09-25T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2009-09-25T14:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2009-09-25 16:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2009-09-25 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2009-09-25 18:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"47223","name":"College of Computing"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"Elizabeth Ndongi","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
