Dr. Paul Huray, EE Professor, has been honored as the 2010 Distinguished Alumnus by the Physics Department at the University of Tennessee Knoxville (UTK) at a ceremony on April 29 where he was a speaker for the department’s annual Honors Day celebration.

Dr. Huray earned a bachelor’s degree in engineering physics at UTK in engineering physics in 1964, followed by a PhD in physics in 1968.

He taught physics at the University of Tennessee Knoxville from 1969 to 1987. He has held other interesting positions such as being a Research Scientist at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and a Senior Policy Analyst at the White House Science Office. He came to the University of South Carolina in 1988 as a Senior Vice President for Research and in 2001 became a professor in the Electrical Engineering Department where he has played a key role in developing the Signal Integrity graduate program.

Dr. Huray published two books in 2009: (1) The Foundations of Signal Integrity and Maxwell’s Equations, published by Wiley-IEEE Press. He will be speaking in late May 2010 at the Workshop on High Speed Signal Integrity on “Bridging the Gap” at IMS 2010 in Anaheim, California.
