Gurindar S. Sohi, electrical and computer engineering and computer sciences, does research and teaching in the area of computer architecture. He is especially interested in microprocessor architecture. He worked on a microprocessor architecture which helped lay the foundation for modern microprocessors such as the Pentium III. More recently he and his graduate students have been working on the architecture of circa-2010 chips which will have more than a billion transistors. He teaches a variety of courses in computer architecture, ranging from the sophomore to the advanced graduate level.

The $60,000 awards are funded by the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation and selected by a committee of the UW-Madison Graduate School. It is one of a number of special programs supported each year by WARF's block grant to the university. The awards are named for William R. Kellett, a former president of the WARF Board of Trustees and retired president of Kimberly Clark Corp. who was integral to the formation of the UW System.

Mid-Career Awards support faculty who are between five and 20 years past tenure and are nominated by colleagues.
