Each year the UCL Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, gives two prizes to research students for their work. These are usually presented at the Departmental Research Poster Day and Lecture. The first, The Cullen Prize, is awarded to the best poster by a Research Student. The second, The Lombardi prize, is given to the best doctoral thesis of the year.

Lombardi prize: Each year the department awards the prestigious Lombardi Prize to the student who submitted the best PhD thesis over the previous twelve months.

Professor Lombardi is currently the ITC Endowed Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northeastern University in Boston, USA
