New Fellows

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

Associate Dean Greg Pottie

Greg Pottie, associate dean for research and physical resources and an electrical engineering professor, and electrical engineering professor Jason Woo have been elected Fellows of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

Pottie was recognized for “contributions to the modeling and applications of wireless sensor networks” and Woo for “contributions to nanoscale silicon on insulator and bulk metal oxide semiconductor device physics and technology.”

Professor Jason Woo

The IEEE Grade of Fellow is conferred by the Board of Directors upon a person with an extraordinary record of accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest. . The total number selected in any one year does not exceed one-tenth percent of the total voting Institute membership.

American Physical Society

Professor Ann Karagozian

Professor Ann R. Karagozian, mechanical and aerospace engineering, was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society “for extensive contributions in the fluid mechanics of combustion systems, including the study of jets in crossflow, strained flames distorted by complex flows, acoustically driven reactive cavity flows and detonation phenomena.”

The APS Fellowship Program was created to recognize members who have made advances in knowledge through original research and publication or significant and innovative contributions in the application of physics to science and technology. Each year, no more than one-half of one percent of the current membership of the Society are elected as Fellows.

International Society for Optical Engineering

Professor Ajit Mal

Ajit K. Mal, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, has been elected as a Fellow of the International Society for Optical Engineering for "specific achievements in the area of wave propagation with applications in nondestructive evaluation (NDE) and structural health monitoring (SHM)."

Fellows are members of distinction who have made significant scientific and technical contributions in the fields of optics, photonics and imaging.
