IEEE Life Fellow Saifur Rahman
2023 IEEE President
Chelsea Seeber
Rahman is the founding director of the Advanced Research Institute and the Center for Energy and the Global Environment at Virginia Tech, the place he researches renewable vitality, sensor integration, sensible grids, and sensible cities. His work promotes clean-tech options for local weather sustainability, and his six-point solution to scale back carbon dioxide emissions within the electrical energy sector is being carried out in various levels in additional than 100 nations.
A prolific lecturer, Rahman has made greater than 850 displays at conferences and invited talking engagements in additional than 30 nations. His visionary and progressive management approaches and techniques have earned him world recognition. In 2020, he spoke at 5 completely different webinars in 5 nations on 4 continents in at some point.
Because the 2023 IEEE president, his most important priorities had been to place the group as a drive for change and to make it extra related to know-how professionals worldwide. Rahman feels that IEEE, because the world’s largest group of technical professionals, has each the chance and the accountability to handle the causes of, mitigate the influence of, and adapt to local weather change. His forward-thinking methods led to the creation of the IEEE Climate Change web site and helped foster collaboration amongst know-how and engineering professionals, policymakers, and different organizations to foster a dialogue on sustainable vitality insurance policies and practices. Beforehand, Rahman served because the vice chairman of IEEE Publication Companies and Merchandise (2006) and president of the IEEE Power & Energy Society (2018 and 2019).
Rahman has revealed greater than 160 journal papers with over 20,000 citations. He’s the founding editor in chief of the IEEE Electrification Magazine and IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy. He has additionally acquired a number of IEEE recognitions, together with the Power & Energy Society Service Award, PES Outstanding Power Engineering Educator Award, Technical Activities Board Hall of Honor, and IEEE Millennium Medal.
IEEE Fellow Aylin Yener
Director, Division IX
Aylin Yener
Yener, an endowed chair professor at The Ohio State University College of Engineering, goals to attach the universe and everybody and the whole lot in it by designing techniques that guarantee safe and dependable info switch in a sustainable method. Her work in communications, info concept, and synthetic intelligence covers a variety of system design matters, from community optimization to safety and privateness of knowledge to sturdy and secure machine-learning algorithms in networked settings.
Of explicit curiosity to Yener is next-generation wi-fi communication and methods to create an energy-neutral digital society. She additionally works to make sure digital connectivity for underserved populations and creating honest and personal AI algorithms to help human ingenuity.
Yener has been an lively IEEE volunteer for greater than 20 years, with expertise in membership, funds, publications, conferences, and outreach. She has served as president of the IEEE Information Theory Society (2020) and is an lively member of the IEEE Signal Processing, IEEE Communications, and IEEE Vehicular Technology societies. As director of Division IX, she advocates for deeper cooperation amongst societies by sharing greatest practices and facilitating the cross-pollination of concepts.
Yener has been an IEEE distinguished lecturer and is at the moment the editor in chief of IEEE Transactions on Green Communications and Networking. She has delivered greater than 60 technical keynotes and invited lectures up to now 10 years. Yener is dedicated to a broader instructional influence, having cofounded the IEEE North American School of Information Theory, which presents graduate college students and postdoctoral researchers the chance to study from main specialists. Yener’s IEEE recognitions embrace the Marconi Prize Paper Award, Communication Theory Technical Achievement Award, and Women in Communications Engineering Outstanding Achievement Award. She is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a member of the Science Academy of Turkey.
