In April, three CS graduate students were part of a team that won a JPL-NASA-sponsored Space Design competition to safely land a rover on Mars. Anna Jung-Chen Chen, Andrew Yi-Zong Ou, and Chi-Hsien Yen, along with ECE graduate student Jia-Bin Huang, made up the Guardians of the Galaxy team that beat out more than 15 other U of I teams to earn the $2,500 prize.
