Pettit Chair Professorship. \u0026ldquo;I can think of no greater reward in the faculty\u0026#39;s roles as educators than the recognition of our students,\u0026rdquo; he said. \u0026ldquo;I am honored to receive this award with all that it represents.\u0026rdquo;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EYalamanchili\u0026nbsp;teaches the undergraduate courses, ECE 2020 Fundamentals of Digital Design and ECE 3056 Architecture, Concurrency, and Energy, as well as graduate courses in Advanced Computer Architecture. His classroom goal has been to prepare students for technology advances that will take place in their lifetimes that will produce transformational shifts in computer architecture and will be accompanied by emerging application demands producing dramatic increase in capabilities.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EYalamanchili has sought to emphasize the timeless principles of computation and information, while separating engineering processes that transform this knowledge into efficient software and hardware computing artifacts. Students will be better equipped to apply these principles across these technology shifts and serve as shepherds and leaders of this technology revolution.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EA member of the ECE faculty since 2009 and currently an associate professor, Bloch received the Richard M.

A 2012 Class of 1969 Teaching Fellow and 2017 Hesburgh Award Teaching Fellow, he believes in engaging students through problem solving and in emphasizing the mastery of fundamentals. Over the past years, Bloch has borrowed teaching ideas and techniques from diverse sources, ranging from his colleagues within and outside of ECE to his experiences as a martial arts instructor.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003ESudhakar Yalamanchili and Matthieu R.
