Two NC State ECE professors were honored with elevation to IEEE Fellow in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the field of electrical and computer engineering. Dr. Yan Solihin was nominated for his contributions to shared cache hierarchies and secure processors, and Dr. Victor Veliadis for his contributions to the development of SiC power devices.
The IEEE Grade of Fellow is conferred by the IEEE Board of Directors upon persons with an outstanding record of accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest. The total number selected in any one year cannot exceed one-tenth of one percent of the total voting membership. IEEE Fellow is the highest grade of membership and is recognized by the technical community as a prestigious honor and an important career achievement.
“Becoming an IEEE Fellow is a particular honor since it is the result of peers recognizing the significance and impact of one’s contributions,” said Dr. Dan Stancil, the Department Head, “It also reflects well on the Department and University by demonstrating once again that our faculty and students are involved in innovative and cutting-edge research.”
