Marwadi University, in Rajkot, India.
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, good grids, and good cities. His work promotes clear-tech options for local weather sustainability, and his six-level answer to cut back carbon dioxide emissions in the electrical energy sector is being applied in various levels in additional than 100 nations.
A prolific lecturer, Rahman has made greater than 850 shows at conferences and invited talking engagements in additional than 30 nations. His visionary and modern management approaches and techniques have earned him international recognition. In 2020, he spoke at 5 completely different webinars in 5 nations on 4 continents in sooner or later.
As the 2023 IEEE president, his essential 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, as the world’s largest group of technical professionals, has each the alternative and the duty to deal with the causes of, mitigate the affect of, and adapt to local weather change. His ahead-considering 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. Previously, Rahman served as the vice chairman of IEEE Publication Services and Products (2006) and president of the IEEE Power & Energy Society (2018 and 2019).
Rahman has printed greater than 160 journal papers with over 20,000 citations. He is 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 join the universe and everybody and every thing in it by designing programs that guarantee safe and dependable data switch in a sustainable method. Her work in communications, data principle, and synthetic intelligence covers a variety of system design matters, from community optimization to safety and privateness of data to strong and protected machine-studying algorithms in networked settings.
Of specific curiosity to Yener is subsequent-technology wi-fi communication and the way to create an vitality-impartial digital society. She additionally works to guarantee digital connectivity for underserved populations and creating honest and personal AI algorithms to assist human ingenuity.
Yener has been an energetic 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 energetic 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 finest 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 in the previous 10 years. Yener is dedicated to a broader academic affect, having cofounded the IEEE North American School of Information Theory, which affords graduate college students and postdoctoral researchers the alternative to study from main consultants. 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.
