CSL researcher Thomas Huang is on the short list of Beckman Institute original faculty members who have had the most impact on science during the 22 years of its existence. The impact on his students over that time has been just as great.

Those are but two reasons some of his former students got together to create the Thomas and Margaret Huang Fund for Graduate Research. While Huang’s contribution to fields such as image formation and signal processing have been as influential as any scientist in the world, the response to the current Huang Fund Challenge gives testimony to his contributions as a professor, mentor, and person.
