Three from College of Engineering named 2017 IEEE Fellows
IEEE recognized computer science and engineering (CSE) professor Dr. Tamal Dey for his contributions to geometric computing, electrical and computer engineering (ECE) professor Dr. Eylem Ekici for his contributions to algorithms, protocols, and architectures of multi-hop wireless networks, and CSE professor Dr. Prasun Sinha for his contributions to scheduling and resource allocations in wireless networks.
The announcement brings the Ohio State ECE department's total number of IEEE Fellows to 20 and the CSE department to 10.
The IEEE Fellowship status is considered the highest grade of membership, recognized by the technical community as a prestigious honor and an important career achievement.
According to IEEE President and CEO Howard Michel, less than 0.1 percent of IEEE voting members are selected for this recognition annually. Recipients are chosen after a “rigorous evaluation procedure” to honor their outstanding record of accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest.
