The award is sponsored by Microsoft Research.

June recently presented two papers, titled, "Degrees of Freedom of Spatial Self-Interference Suppression for In-Band Full-Duplex with Inter-node Interference," and " Decentralized Data Detection for Massive MU-MIMO on a GPU Cluster," at the Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems and Computers. She received a Bybee Travel Award from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rice University to support her travel to the conference.

June also presented her paper on MU-MIMO at the IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing (GlobalSIP) in December.
