Dear IEEE Members,Distinguished Colleagues, and Friends,

At this year’s IEEE Honors Ceremony, we gather under the theme “The Power of Persistence” to honor and applaud some of the brightest and most successful members of our community. The Ceremony’s theme, emphasizing persistence, is in some discord with the way scientific and technical breakthroughs are often described in popular media. Often such breakthroughs are portrayed as isolated bursts of creativity and innovation, reflecting momentary inspiration or mysterious flashes of luck. Yet, while sparks of creativity do occur, and some great discoveries and inventions can perhaps be attributed to them, the reality is that progress is more often the result of a much more complicated and laborious process. This process involves the grad-ual building of experimental and theoretical foundations; contributions from many observers, experimenters and scholars; and long debates on hypotheses and causations. When a new invention finally emerges from this process, bright and fresh, it often appears self evident – even obvious. It seldom is.

The path that led to discoveries such as the ones we honor in 2011 is frequently quite complicat-ed. Progress happens from time to time, but so do dead ends, wrong directions and negative results. Moreover, the individuals who are representing the spectacular achievements we cel-ebrate often drew on previous studies and truly “stand on the shoulders of giants.” They are brilliant thinkers and original inventors in their own right – but they also had the benefit of earlier studies, guidance by teachers and mentors, institutional support, students, colleagues, and col-laborators.

We celebrate all of them, as well as the nominators and benefactors of the medals and awards – the generous donors who recognized the importance of acknowledging properly the intellect and gifts of the leaders of our profession. They all play an important part in making the IEEE Awards Program one of the highest forms of recognition in our community.

We hope that highlighting the accomplishments of the 2011 recipients will inspire all of us – especially younger professionals – to re-dedicate ourselves to the profession, and to recognize how large the potential still is to use our education, talents and experience to advance technology for humanity.

People living in remote areas of the world have limited access to medical care. Recent advances in broadband communication, combined with multimedia compression methods, convinced the PoaS@úde team that telemedicine solutions to this problem were possible.

The PoaS@úde Telemedicine Project aimed to develop a real-time eHealth solution and promotion of public prevention programs for remote areas. The primary focus was on obstetric ultrasonography for prenatal care. The concepts were applied in remote districts of Porto Alegre, Southern Brazil, remote cities of the Amazon region, and in Northern Brazil, where a hospital is a 12- to 24-hour boat ride away.

The team conceived a collaborative tele-ultrasound system over a hybrid network, which included a PLC (Power Line) and a satellite, based on multimedia data, called VideoMed. Using this, a medical specialist could assist, guide, and interact in real time with a remote doctor. The signal is coded in MPEG-4 and transmitted live. The specialist would analyze and communicate by audio and through a pointer, giving procedural instructions to the remote doctor showing, for example, a hand in picture-in-picture (PIP) form.

The benefi ts of PoaS@úde were two-fold: increased prenatal exams and early diagnosis of problems for pregnancy patients and increased training and contact with specialists for remote doctors.

For over 50 years, James F. Gibbons’ commitment to building relationships between academia and industry has been a key to the success of Stanford University’s School of Engineering and has also helped fuel innovations developed by Silicon Valley. He built Stanford’s fi rst semiconductor processing laboratory in 1957, creating a major new direction for Stanford’s Electrical Engineering Department. Later, he was instrumental in creating Stanford’s Center for Integrated Systems (CIS, 1980), providing a fi rst-class facility for faculty and students to prototype state-of-the-art chips and explore research questions. Dr. Gibbons and his colleagues created a new model for the Center that allows corporate partners to provide support for and actively participate in its ongoing research. The CIS continues to serve as an important industry source for precompetitive research. As dean of Stanford’s School of Engineering from 1984 to 1996, he brought the Department of Computer Science into the School and initiated integration of that discipline into its teaching and research. He was instrumental in fundraising efforts that led to construction of the Gates Computer Science Building, the Paul Allen Wing for CIS, the Packard Electrical Engineering Building and the Hewlett Teaching Center. With the participation of venture capitalists, he created the Stanford Engineering Venture Fund to build the School’s endowment, and he initiated education in entrepreneurship through the widely respected Stanford Technology Ventures program. Dr. Gibbons’ research contributions include pioneering work on implantation and rapid thermal processing for semicon-ductor chips, both of which are foundational technologies in today’s semiconductor industry. He also developed in 1972 a vid-eo-based learning process called Tutored Video Instruction (TVI), combining video instruction with an on-site tutor to provide grad-uate-level education to engineers in the fi eld, a program especially valuable for companies with global engineering teams. An IEEE Life Fellow, Dr. Gibbons is currently a research professor of elec-trical engineering at Stanford University, Calif.

Scope: For outstanding contributions in the leadership, planning, and administration of affairs of great value to the elec-trical and electronics engineering profession.

For leadership in engineering research, education and administration, and for building bridges between academia and industry

Arogyaswami J. Paulraj’s development of multiple input-multi-ple output (MIMO) antenna technology for wireless communications has revolutionized both local area and mobile broadband communications, enabling high-speed access to multimedia services. Employing multiple antennas at both the transmit and the receive stations, the success of MIMO is its ability to provide both higher data rates and wider coverage areas. Dr. Paulraj fi rst developed the idea of MIMO in 1992 while at Stanford University. Using the spatial multiplexing concept that exploits MIMO antennas, he demonstrated that spectral ef-fi ciency could be improved by transmitting independent data streams from each transmit antenna and then exploiting the distinct spatial signatures of each stream at the receive antennas to separate them. He was issued a patent for the MIMO concept in 1994, but he faced skepticism from industry and funding sources. However, he persisted and held annual workshops at Stanford on the technology that eventually helped interest in MIMO take hold in the late 1990s. Dr. Paulraj founded Iospan Wireless Inc. in 1998 as the fi rst company to incorporate MIMO technology in a commercial system. The lessons learned at Iospan gave the wireless industry confi dence to incorporate MIMO into emerging wireless standards. Iospan’s technology underpins today’s 4G wireless systems. Intel Corp. acquired part of Iospan in 2003 to help launch its own push into wireless broadband, further establishing the importance of Dr. Paulraj’s MIMO concept. An IEEE Fellow, Dr. Paulraj is a Professor Emeritus at Stanford University, Calif., and a senior advisor to Broadcom Corp., Irvine, Calif.

Scope: For exceptional contributions to the advancement of communications sciences and engineering.

For pioneering contributions to the application of multiantenna technology to wireless communication systems

Neil Siegel’s groundbreaking systems engineering work in creating the “digital battlefi eld” has helped defi ne the future of the U.S. armed forces and is already saving the lives of soldiers and Marines. Dr. Siegel led the design of a digital system capable of tracking friendly and enemy forces, thereby revolu-tionizing tactical-level command and control. He led programmatic, systems engineering and technology efforts and also guided what was an initially controversial concept through political minefi elds to realization. This system, known as Force XXI Battle Command Brigade-and-Below (FBCB2), is also known as the Blue-Force Tracker. Dr. Siegel’s invention of the force-structure-aware communications network provides better communications in the challenging tactical environment by in-corporating continuously updated knowledge of the military force structure it is supporting into routing decisions. The com-munications network achieves reliable infrastructureless wireless communications for tens of thousands of mobile platforms, without depending on cellular towers or fi xed-site relays. FBCB2 has thereby become the U.S. Army’s principle battle command system, is deployed on U.S. Army and U.S. Marines vehicles worldwide and is credited with saving hundreds of soldiers’ lives during its use in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Balkans. It has been cited by commanders as one of the most decisive new military technologies of our time. Over 90,000 units of this system are in use today, and it is planned to be the cornerstone of U.S. tactical operations for decades to come. An IEEE Fellow and member of the National Academy of Engineering, Dr. Siegel is currently sector vice president and chief engineer at Northrop Grumman’s Information Systems, Dominguez Hills, Calif.

Scope: For exceptional achievement in systems engineering and systems science.

For the pioneering engineering that led to the successful development of the digital battlefi eld, a lifesaving and integral part of U.S. Army operations

Donald C. Loughry’s leadership and support of IEEE standards initiatives have provided the structure necessary for the success-ful growth of computer networking and wireless communications technology. Among his many contributions to standards devel-opment, Loughry was a key initiator of the IEEE’s 802 family of standards during the 1980s and 1990s, which has had important implications for local area networks (LANs) and wireless data transfer. The 802 group would become one of the most prolifi c sponsors of standards within IEEE with great economic and social impact. In 1980, Loughry helped form the IEEE 802 LAN standards committee, which had the task of reaching consensus on three to fi ve LAN standards to facilitate development and implementation of the technology. Loughry served as the initial study group chairperson for work on Ethernet connection tech-nology. He was a key contributor to the 802.3 working group, which defi ned a 10 megabit per second connection standard in 1985. By 1998, the 802.3 Ethernet standard was employed in over 100 million computer networks worldwide. During the 1990s, Loughry helped initiate the development of the 802.11 standards for wireless LANs, providing the structure for wireless data transfer to laptop computers, digital music players and other handheld devices throughout homes, businesses and at WiFi hotspots. Loughry also worked hard to give IEEE the repu-tation of a worldwide standards organization, leading the evolution of the IEEE Standards Board into the IEEE Standards Association. An IEEE Life Senior Member, Loughry worked for Hewlett-Packard Company, Palo Alto, Calif., for 42 years until his retirement in 1998 as standards manager.

An active and dedicated IEEE volunteer, Levent Onural has expanded IEEE’s mission of advancing technology for the benefi t of humanity around the world. Dr. Onural’s fi rst major accomplishment was founding the IEEE Turkey Section in 1989. Where others had previously failed due to required high-level government approval at that time in Turkey, Dr. Onural’s persis-tence paid off as he navigated the diffi cult course to successfully establish the section. As director of IEEE Region 8 (2001-2002), which is comprised of Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Dr. Onural dealt with many issues including the sensitive issue of U.S. government sanctions against certain countries that prevented IEEE from holding section activities in some countries in Region 8, or from publishing technical papers of authors from these countries. Dr. Onural saw this as an affront to IEEE’s mission and was instrumental in driving IEEE to work with the U.S. government to resolve the issue in IEEE’s favor. Dr. Onural’s dedication to student education was exemplifi ed as Region 8 Student Activities Committee chair (1995-1998) and as vice chair of student activities for the IEEE Regional Activities Board (1998-1999), initiating many strong programs that increased the number of student chapters in Region 8 and around the world, improved the quality of student membership and promoted member retention. Dr. Onural was elected IEEE secretary in 2003 and developed modifi cations to the IEEE con-stitution that were critical to ensuring its long-term stability. An IEEE Fellow, Dr. Onural is currently a professor and dean of en-gineering at Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey, where he has taught since 1987.

Scope: For outstanding service to IEEE.

Isamu Akasaki

For seminal and pioneering contributions to the development of nitride-based semiconductor materials and optoelectronic devices, including visible wave length LEDs and lasers

The persistent research efforts of Isamu Akasaki have resulted in the technology behind today’s high-brightness display lighting and advanced entertainment devices. During the late 1960s, Dr. Akasaki began researching solutions to the roadblocks that had prevented realization of high-performance blue LEDs and lasers. While many abandoned the challenge, his work using gallium nitride materials paid off in the 1990s with pioneering develop-ments that led to high-brightness blue, green and white LEDs and high-performance blue-violet semiconductor lasers. His work has infl uenced all subsequent developments on these LEDs and lasers and has enabled devices such as the blue-ray disc player, white illumination sources and solid-state full-color displays. His fi rst achievement important to the development of blue LEDs came in 1985 when he successfully grew high-quality single-crystal gallium nitride on sapphire substrates using a low-temperature buffer technology. His second was in 1989 when he used low-energy electron beam irradiation for p-type doping of gallium nitride. These achievements made at Nagoya University were necessary for further development of gallium nitride as the wide bandgap semiconductor system to enable the new light source. He then realized the fi rst blue/ultraviolet gallium nitride LEDs. During the 1990s, Dr. Akasaki demonstrated stimulated emission in the ultraviolet region with optical excitation from gallium nitride at room temperature and electrically injected ul-traviolet/purple-blue laser diodes. His inventions launched a new market for optoelectronics devices, and the Akasaki Institute at Nagoya University was founded in 2006 based on royalties from his patents. An IEEE Fellow, Dr. Akasaki is a professor with Meijo University’s Graduate School of Science and Technology and a Distinguished University Professor of Nagoya University, Japan.

Scope: For a career of meritorious achievement in electrical science, electrical engineering or the electrical arts.

Professor Sir Tony Hoare has established the foundation of much that is taken for granted today in software design. A major portion of Sir Tony’s 50-plus-year scientifi c career has been devoted to developing the theoretical underpinnings of software to the point where its creation becomes a true engineering fi eld. His work also has had practical impact, with application to commercial software development projects involving database management systems for the telecommunications industry and security and safety ap-plications in the medical, transportation and nuclear power industries. Sir Tony invented the Quicksort sorting algorithm in 1960, which has been widely studied and implemented in modern computers. He also led a team during the 1960s that developed a successful early compiler for the ALGOL 60 high-level language. His compiler checked all array subscripts at run-time, which is a precaution now common in modern object-oriented languages. Rejecting shared variable interaction, he proposed “communicat-ing sequential processes” to address concurrency issues among programs. This bold step was very infl uential and saw application in the U.S. Department of Defense’s Ada language. It was also the inspiration for the Occam programming language used in the transputer microprocessor developed during the 1980s for parallel computing. More recent work from Sir Tony involves working on the theory that would underpin a verifi cation toolset and encour-aging computer scientists to work together toward its achievement. A Fellow of the U.K. Royal Academy of Engineering and a foreign associate of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, he is currently a principal researcher with Microsoft Research Ltd., Cambridge, U.K.

Pasquale Pistorio

For contributions to, and leadership in, the technology, business and environmental development of the global semiconductor and electronics industry

Pasquale Pistorio’s pioneering efforts helped improve the micro-electronics industry in Europe and formed one of the world’s top semiconductor manufacturers. Mr. Pistorio merged Italy’s SGS Group with France’s Thomson Semiconducteurs during the 1980s to form what is today known as STMicroelectronics. In 1980, he left Motorola Corporation while general manager of its International Semiconductor Division to take on the challenge of reviving the only remaining microelectronics company in his native Italy. As chief executive offi cer of the SGS Group, he transformed the struggling company into a successful semicon-ductor manufacturer. This led to the merger with Thomson in 1987, which positioned the newly formed company, then known as SGS-Thomson Microelectronics, as a strong international competitor. Mr. Pistorio’s leadership skills were crucial in over-coming the anxieties and mistrust initially involved with this fi rst-of-its-kind merger of equals in a very competitive industry. His vision and leadership helped overcome the diverse social, economic and political landscape in Europe to successfully add and merge companies in France, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States. Mr. Pistorio was also a key driver of advanced technology research groups that helped Europe close the tech-nology gap with the rest of the world as companies learned that competitors could become respected partners for the good of the industry. An advocate of environmental protection who believes that environmentally friendly companies are more fi -nancially competitive, Mr. Pistorio also has a special interest in bridging the imbalance between those with access to technol-ogy and those without. Mr. Pistorio retired from STMicroelectronics, Geneva, Switzerland, as president and chief executive offi cer in 2005 and is the company’s honorary chairman.

Scope: For exceptional contributions to the microelectronics industry.

Shoichi Sasaki’s contributions to the technology behind the Toyota Prius hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) has helped drive the success of HEVs and revolutionize the automobile industry. He invented the control method for the Prius that made hybrid control simpler and more transparent by introducing power to the control algorithm to combine internal combustion engine control and battery charge/discharge control. Launched in 1997 in Japan, the Prius obtained revolutionary fuel effi ciency using the “Toyota Hybrid System” (THS). Professor Sasaki was instru-mental in implementing the THS after simulating and modeling several potential hybrid systems. His unifi ed control algorithm achieved optimal fuel effi ciency, adjustable engine starting and stopping while driving, suppression of changes in driving force and control of the battery. Due to the algorithm’s fl exibility, it has been applied to all Toyota hybrid vehicles. Professor Sasaki also supervised the electric power management to ensure pre-vention of over-voltage, over-current and over-heating of system components as well as excessive charging/discharging of the battery in real-world driving conditions. He also developed a variable voltage drive system that incorporates a boost converter to reduce motor drive current, allowing for more compact inverters and motor generators and providing a lighter weight system. The boost converter system was introduced in the 2003 Prius. Professor Sasaki’s contributions to the safety of the vehicle include a fail-safe and diagnostic system for the traction motor system to combat unintentional drive force from motor-control-related component failure. An IEEE Member, Professor Sasaki is currently a professor at the Keio University Graduate School of System Design and Management, Yokohama, Japan.

Considered one of the top imaging scientists in the world for his knowledge of the underlying physics and mathematics of bio-medical imaging, Harrison H. Barrett has broadly impacted the fi eld with contributions to instrumentation, reconstruction algo-rithms and image quality assessment. He has provided a rigorous theoretical basis and clearly defi ned experimental and computa-tional paradigms for the assessment and optimization of image quality. His work led to improved understanding of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging, which uses gamma rays to provide three-dimensional imaging of the brain, tumors and bone. Dr. Barrett’s research on image quality assessment has revolutionized how medical imaging systems are evaluated. He implemented numerical observers that allow a computer to analyze images instead of using human observers, overcoming what can be a lengthy process. Quantitative image quality assessment is now a requirement for practically all biomedical imaging. As early as 1972, he published some of the fi rst results on using coded apertures for high-reso-lution tomographic imaging in nuclear medicine. During the 1980s and 1990s, he developed methods to improve the resolu-tion-sensitivity trade-off in SPECT systems. He developed a stationary hemispherical SPECT system for human brain imaging and the FastSPECT and FastSPECT II systems for fast dynamic imaging in small animals. Recent developments include semi-conductor arrays for high-resolution gamma-ray imaging. He co-founded the University of Arizona Center for Gamma-Ray Imaging in 1998. An IEEE Fellow, Dr. Barrett is currently Regents Professor and director of the Center for Gamma-Ray Imaging at the University of Arizona, Tucson.

Ingrid Daubechies

For pioneering contributions to the theory and applications of wavelets and fi lter banks

Considered one of the best known female mathematicians, Ingrid Daubechies’ creation of practical wavelet transforms rev-olutionized signal processing and has impacted audio, image and video devices and communications systems. Her develop-ment of orthogonal bases of compact support in 1998 was a watershed moment for the fi eld of signal processing. Her work opened up new pathways of theory and applications for wavelets and fi lter banks and showed that their practical use in applica-tions was indeed possible. Used for signal coding and data compression, the “Daubechies Wavelets” are now an indispens-able tool for signal processors. In her groundbreaking work, Dr. Daubechies demonstrated how to design well-behaved orthog-onal wavelets using well-known fi lter banks and was able to provide a complete analysis. Dr. Daubechies then extended her wavelet techniques to expand their range of applications. In 1992, with A. Cohen and J.C. Feauveau, she developed a family of symmetrical biorthogonal wavelet bases to better handle image and video encoding problems. The eventual JPEG 2000 image coding standard, which enables applications such as next-generation entertainment systems and medical systems for telediagnosis, would be based on these wavelets and fi lter banks. Dr. Daubechies also worked with Wim Sweldens to apply Sweldens’ lifting algorithm to general wavelet transforms. The resulting algorithms offered state-of-art performance in speed and memory. She also applied lifting to a integer-to-integer wavelet transform that eliminated the noise present in standard transform coding algorithms. The lifted and integer-to-integer wavelets are key components of the JPEG 2000 standard. An IEEE Fellow, Dr. Daubechies is currently a professor in the Mathematics Department at Duke University, Durham, N.C.

Scope: For outstanding achievements in signal processing.

For contributions to Information Theory, including source coding and its applications

Toby Berger

Toby Berger’s pioneering contributions to rate distortion and source coding have impacted how audio and video fi les are compressed for effi cient transmission and viewing over the Internet. Dr. Berger was the fi rst to extend Shannon’s lossy coding theorem to abstract-alphabet sources with memory in 1968. Dr. Berger’s work was the forerunner of the widely adopted JPEG and MPEG standards for picture and video fi les. The structures of today’s video coding standards resemble the structures Berger described in 1970. His book, Rate Distortion Theory: A Mathematical Basis for Data Compression (Prentice Hall, 1971) became the best reference on the topic and is still an important source today. Dr. Berger is one of the pioneers of multiuser source coding, which deals with the challenges of handling the transfer of information from one to many. Building on his rate-distortion work, he helped defi ne the framework and future directions for distributed source coding and distributed lossy coding. He defi ned fundamental concepts including strong typicality and the Markov lemma for distributed source coding and network information theory. Dr. Berger’s introduction of the “CEO problem” for multiterminal source coding during the late 1990s is considered one of the most important contributions in the history of distributed coding. His more recent interests include combining information theory and biological systems for an interdisciplinary area called “neuroinformation theory” that holds promise for energy-effi cient computation and communi-cation that is analog instead of digital.

An IEEE Life Fellow, Dr. Berger is the Irwin and Joan Jacobs Professor of Engineering, Emeritus, at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., and professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville.

For leadership in the technology upon which the modern computer analysis of electric power system networks is based

William F. Tinney

One of the earliest pioneers of digital power fl ow solutions for the electric power industry, William F. Tinney’s groundbreaking work during the late 1960s while with the Bonneville Power Administration enabled digital computers to solve the power fl ow problem. The ability to calculate the power fl owing on the lines of a large grid given load and generation information is crucial to the planning, design and reliable operation of the world’s power grids. Even with the advent of digital computers, it wasn’t until Mr. Tinney’s breakthrough solutions that computers could provide the analytical tools and services that have enabled the safe expansion of the power grid. Practically every electric power system network computer program developed over the past 40 years is based on his sparse network solution approach. Published in 1967, the sparse matrix technology concept became used worldwide in all power system computer applica-tions requiring solution of power network equations. In 1968, with H.W. Dommel, Tinney introduced the optimal power fl ow problem and a method for its solution. The paper detailing this revolutionary work that was published in the IEEE Transactions on Power Apparatus and Systems (vol. 87, pp. 1866-1876) was voted the fi fth-most important paper in 20th century power system analysis.

The early work of Bernard J. Lechner, T. Peter Brody and Fang-Chen Luo on liquid-crystal display (LCD) technology for television pictures set the stage for the proliferation of today’s fl at-screen televisions and monitors. The trio overcame the initial limitations of using liquid crystals to display complex moving images to make the dream of being able to hang a television on the wall a reality. During the 1960s while at RCA, Lechner was the fi rst to analyze the limitations of early liquid crystal cells. He rec-ognized that simple matrix addressing would not work well for television applications, so Lechner pursued active matrix addressing schemes and conceived the basic idea of associating a fi eld-effect transistor (FET) and a capacitor with each cell of a LCD panel to selectively store and control the brightness of the cell. However, RCA abandoned its pursuit of LCD television, and it was Drs. Brody and Luo at Westinghouse who extended Lechner’s work and produced the fi rst LCDs employing an array of

thin-fi lm transistors (TFTs). In 1974, Drs. Brody and Luo presented a 6´6-in. display consisting of 120’120 pixels. Although modest by today’s standards, given the tech-nology available to them at the time it was a great achievement. In 1982, Brody formed Panelvision and invited Luo to join him. Panelvision offered the fi rst com-mercial TFT LCDs.

2011 IEEEDennis J. Picard Medal for Radar Technologies and Applications

Sponsored by Raytheon Company

For pioneering the international effort to develop high-frequency over-the-horizon radar, combining extraordinary skills in electronics, antenna theory, electromagnetic wave propagation and hands-on experimentation

James M. Headrick

For developments in programmable integrated circuitry for a wide range of applications

Marcian E. Hoff

For over six decades James M. Headrick was a key contributor to the success of high-frequency over-the-horizon (OTH) radar, an important advance over conventional microwave radar tech-niques. High-frequency OTH radar has a range of 2,000 nautical miles and beyond for detecting aircraft, ships and ballistic missiles and determining the strength of winds that drive ocean waves. Mr. Headrick’s pioneering work to develop high-frequen-cy OTH radar began at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in the late 1940s. By 1956 the Naval Research Laboratory was the fi rst to successfully demonstrate a Doppler shift technique for detecting aircraft and ships despite the echoes caused by sea clutter. Mr. Headrick’s efforts led to the operation of the Naval Research Lab’s MADRE (for magnetic drum radar equipment) OTH radar located on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay in 1961. He demonstrated the detection of aircraft and ships, of nuclear tests, of ballistic missile launches and the importance of sea echoes. MADRE provided the foundation that led to the U.S. Air Force’s Continental Air Defense radar as well as the U.S. Navy’s Relocatable OTH Radar (ROTHR) system, which has been adapted for use by U.S. Customs to detect drug smugglers trying to cross the U.S. border. Mr. Headrick’s work has also affected radar systems outside the United States, such as Australia’s Jindalee radar, which is the cornerstone of Australia’s national surveillance system. An IEEE Life Senior Member, Mr. Headrick, who passed away in February 2011, was a retired annuitant research engineer with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory residing in Stanfi eld, Ore.

Scope: For outstanding accomplishments in advancing the fi elds of radar technologies and their applications.

As one of the inventors of the fi rst microprocessor, Marcian E. Hoff revolutionized the computing and electronics industries, and other contributions have helped usher in the digital age of communications. Dr. Hoff is best known for his role in develop-ing the fi rst microprocessor (the Intel 4004) with Stanley Mazor and Federico Faggin in 1969. Dr. Hoff also applied the micropro-cessor concept to programmable digital devices that revolutionized telephony, opened the door to mobile communi-cations and enabled digital delivery of music and photos as well. From 1975 to 1980, Dr. Hoff led a team at Intel that moved signal processing from the analog domain to the digital domain. Working with Matt Townsend, Stephen Dryer and John Huggins, the fi rst commercially available monolithic CODEC (the Intel 2910) was released in 1978 for converting voice signals between analog and digital formats. Today, this process is taken for granted, but this work helped launch the digital age of commu-nications. In 1979, Dr. Hoff’s team released the Intel 2920, which was an early digital signal processing chip. Dr. Hoff’s impact began well before inventing the fi rst microprocessor. As a doctoral student at Stanford University in 1960, he developed the least mean squares (LMS) adaptive algorithm with thesis advisor Bernard Widrow. The LMS algorithm became one of the enabling technologies of the Internet, and it is now used in some form in most modems and adaptive signal processors for echo cancellation, channel equalization and adaptive antennas. An IEEE Life Fellow, Dr. Hoff retired from Teklicon, Inc., San Jose, Calif., in 1997, where he served as chief technologist.

Scope: For groundbreaking contributions that have had an exceptional impact on the development of electronics and electrical engineering or related fi elds.

Morris Chang

Morris Chang’s visionary leadership shaped the technol-ogy policy for an entire nation and revolutionized how the semiconductor industry does business around the world. With pioneering concepts such as the dedicated IC foundry, “fabless” IC design and virtual fabrication services, he revolutionized Taiwan’s semiconductor de-velopment and impacted the global semiconductor industry. Dr. Chang was recruited by the Taiwan govern-ment to help strengthen its semiconductor industry and became president of Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute in 1985. He founded the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) in 1987 as the world’s fi rst dedicated IC foundry company. By focusing on manufacturing other companies’ ICs, TSMC met the needs of chip manufacturers requiring outside contractors for overfl ow and specialty work and provided services for companies lacking the resources to do their own fabrication work. While there was skep-ticism concerning the viability of such a business model, Dr. Chang was persistent and was able to demonstrate its advantages. TSMC became the template for fabrica-tion houses that followed, and through Dr. Chang’s leadership it developed into the largest silicon foundry in the world. The creation of TSMC sparked the devel-opment of fabless IC companies during the 1990s.

Dedicated foundries reduce the cost of entry for these companies by manufacturing their chips but without competing with them. Utilizing the strengths of the foundry concept, Chang’s “virtual fab” service model in-corporates cutting-edge information technology to provide companies with the same benefi ts and conve-nience as if they had their own dedicated IC fabs, while still maintaining confi dentiality. However, the virtual fab reduces the burdens of capital investment, research and development and intellectual property efforts normally required.While at Texas Instruments (TI) during the 1960s and 1970s, Dr. Chang managed the world’s largest semiconductor business. Under his leadership, TI’s “TTL” electronic logic circuit was established as the standard logic family, TI’s calculator ICs fueled the growth of the pocket calculator market and TI became a leader in metal-oxide-semiconductor memories. TI also introduced the innovative Speak & Spell handheld edu-cational device under Dr. Chang’s management. An IEEE Life Member, Dr. Chang is currently the chairman and chief executive offi cer of the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd., Hsinchu, Taiwan.

Scope: For an exceptional contribution or an extra-ordinary career in IEEE fi elds of interest.

2011 IEEE Cledo Brunetti Award

Sponsored by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited and the

Brunetti Bequest

The insight provided by Massimo V. Fischetti, David J. Frank and Steven E. Laux in understanding the physical effects that occur in electronic devices at small dimensions has been key to silicon technology evolving at a rapid pace. Their collective work on the development and application of modeling and simulation tools over the past 20 years have provided guidance during the early stages of the design cycle, reducing R&D costs for future nanotechnology. Drs. Fischetti and Laux developed the full-band Monte Carlo simulation program DAMOCLES, which shed light on the physics governing electron transport in semiconductor devices. The tool is con-sidered the gold standard for device modeling with its ability to capture realistic physical properties in small silicon transis-tors, explaining key phenomena and suggesting new directions

for research. Drs. Fischetti, Frank and Laux demonstrated 30-nn gate lengths in silicon transistors in 1992, at a time when industry thought it difficult to scale to transistor gate lengths below 100 nm. With impact still being felt today, their work sparked worldwide interest in pursuing the double-gate tran-sistor structure as the ultimately scaled silicon transistor. A Fellow of the American Physical Society, Dr. Fischetti is the Texas Instruments Distinguished Chair in Nanoelectronics with the Materials Science and Engineering Department at the University of Texas at Dallas. An IEEE Fellow, Dr. Frank is a research staff member at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, N.Y. An IEEE Fellow, Dr. Laux is a research staff member at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, N.Y.

Eduardo D. Sontag’s contributions to nonlinear feedback for control and signaling systems opened the floodgates to creativity in nonlinear designs, benefiting a wide range of engineering disci-plines. Dr. Sontag’s control Lyapunov function (CLF), input-to-state stability (ISS), and related concepts help in the design of stable nonlinear feedback systems. Dr. Sontag presented the CLF concept in 1989 and it quickly pervaded the control literature. CLF’s provides control practitioners with the ability to make appropriate feedback control choices. Also in 1989, Dr. Sontag’s ISS concept helped tackle the difficulties presented by uncertainty in nonlinear systems. With ISS, he showed how to capture the effect of persistent distur-bances in nonlinear systems, which has enabled engineers to solve many robust stabilization problems. An IEEE Fellow, Dr. Sontag is a professor with the Department of Mathematics at Rutgers University, Piscataway, N.J., where he is also in the graduate faculty of the Computer Science and the Electrical and Computer Engineering Departments.

John H. Brunke’s pioneering work on high-voltage surge control technology has found widespread use in reducing stresses on the power grid. During the 1970s, Dr. Brunke was one of the first engineers to design, install and test a high-voltage switching scheme using “controlled closing” to energize 230-kV shunt capacitor banks. Controlled switching is the switching on/off of high-voltage equipment and lines at a precise instant when the transient generated by the switching is reduced or eliminated. This improves power quality and reliability while lowering equipment costs. Projects coor-dinated while at the Bonneville Power Administration concerning staged systems and fault testing have provided important models for identifying problems and solutions for high-voltage systems. As chair of the IEEE and CIGRE (International Council on Large Electric Systems) committees responsible for switchgear technology, Dr. Brunke has provided industry with important standards information and fostered cooperation between the two organizations. An IEEE Fellow, Dr. Brunke is currently a consulting engineer.

Joan L. Mitchell

For fundamental contributions to image compression in printing technology and digital image processing in consumer electronics

When you surf the Internet, use a digital camera or print a color image you have benefited from Joan L. Mitchell’s contributions to compression methods for faster printing and transmission of image files. Dr. Mitchell was one of the key contributors to the JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) algorithm for photographic image compression as well as some of the MPEG (Motion Picture Expert Group) standards for video. Working at IBM with William B. Pennebaker, Dr. Mitchell helped fine tune the JPEG standard into something that was also practical for software. She served as co-editor of the standard and helped define many of the exten-sions that made it a flexible tool for image compression. Dr. Mitchell was also instrumental in solving throughput bottlenecks affecting IBM high-end printers, enabling for the first time full-col-or page decoding for JPEG at rated speeds. An IEEE Fellow, Dr. Mitchell retired from InfoPrint Solutions Company, Boulder, Colo., in 2009, where she was an InfoPrint Fellow.

Jun Murai is considered the “Father of Japanese Internet,” es-tablishing the Internet in Japan. In 1984, Dr. Murai deployed the Japanese University Network (JUNET), a computer network con-necting Japanese universities that served as the cornerstone of Japan’s Internet. In 1988, Dr. Murai evolved JUNET into the Widely Integrated Distributed Environment (WIDE) Project. The WIDE project started the first transfer control protocol/Internet protocol (IP) network in the Asia-Pacific region and became the backbone of Japan’s Internet. The WIDE project also initiated standard Japanese character coding for the Internet, utilized by Japanese Internet users every day, and IPv6 (the next IP designed to alleviate eventual Internet address exhaustion). Dr. Murai was instrumental in launching Japan’s first Internet service provider and first Internet exchange point and contributed to the interna-tionalization of the Internet e-mail system. An IEEE Associate Member, Dr. Murai is the dean of the Faculty of Environment and Information Studies, Keio University, Kanagawa, Japan.

For seminal contributions to the demonstration of SiGe lattice mismatch strain engineering for enhanced carrier transport properties in MOSFET devices

Judy L. Hoyt and Eugene A. Fitzgerald

2011 IEEE Andrew S. Grove Award

Sponsored by the IEEE Electron Devices Society

The groundbreaking work of Judy L. Hoyt and Eugene A. Fitzgerald involving strained silicon semiconductor materials has enabled the continued shrinking of integrated circuits, providing faster chips and devices. Based on Dr. Fitzgerald’s breakthrough of successfully fabricating strained (Si) on relaxed silicon germanium (SiGe) (stretching the Si crystal when applied to another material) in 1990, Dr. Hoyt and colleagues at Stanford pioneered the application of strained silicon to increase carrier transport properties in Si metal-oxide field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). In 1992 Dr. Hoyt used thin strained layers of Si on top of a relaxed SiGe artificial substrate to demonstrate the first fully functioning strained-channel MOSFETs. She later showed potential for the strain-engineered high-performance MOSFETs; results that inspired industry to harness strain in modern Si inte-grated circuits. Dr. Fitzgerald’s development of high mobility

strained silicon on a low-defect relaxed SiGe spurred Dr. Hoyt’s work. He was able to solve defect formation problems to allow the joining of Si and Ge. He also demonstrated that highly strained materials could be deposited in small areas, or, alterna-tively, strain-free SiGe could be deposited over large areas with a very low defect density. The ability to engineer highly relaxed and highly strained levels on Si led to Dr. Fitzgerald creating the first high-quality, high-mobility strained Si material. An IEEE Fellow, Dr. Hoyt is a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, and associate director of MIT’s Microsystems Technologies Laboratories. An IEEE Member, Dr. Fitzgerald is the Merton C. Flemings-Singapore MIT Alliance Professor of Materials Engineering with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge.

David D. Shipp has worked at the forefront of power technology for 38 years, contributing important solutions in areas ranging from power systems analysis to grounding to arc flash solutions and safety measures. Mr. Shipp’s arc flash studies resulted in mitigation methods and solutions that have saved lives and reduced injury and risk to maintenance personnel across all industries. He was also in-strumental in determining why massive internal ground fault damage was occurring in industrial generators. He led a team that determined the accepted ground current standard at that time was too high. They developed the Hybrid High Resistance Grounding system to automatically switch the generator ground fault level to a lower level when a fault was detected, which greatly reduced damage to the generator. His team’s work resulted in revisions to the American National Standards Institute/IEEE generator standards. Recent work focused on solving switching transient induced failures in transformers and motors. An IEEE Fellow, Mr. Shipp is a principal engineer with Eaton Electrical, Warrendale, Pa.

Thomas J. Richardson and Rüdiger Urbanke

2011 IEEE IEEE Koji Kobayashi Computers and

Communications Award

Sponsored by NEC Corporation

Considered the world’s foremost experts on iterative decoding, Thomas J. Richardson and Rüdiger Urbanke have helped optimize data transmission rates for wireless and optical com-munications and digital information storage. To approach “Shannon’s limit,” which established the maximum rate for communications over a noisy channel, they expanded on low density parity check (LDPC) codes and provided new tools for understanding the complexities of iterative decoding proce-dures. The result has been reliable data transmission at rates close to channel capacity but with low complexities. Three landmark papers by Drs. Richardson and Urbanke appearing in the February 2001 issue of the IEEE Transactions on Information

Theory successfully addressed the obstacles facing the devel-opment of capacity-approaching codes. Their work showed that LDPC codes could very closely approach the Shannon limit, showed how to design irregular LDPC codes and provided methods for efficiently encoding LDPC codes. They introduced the density evolution technique, on which practi-cally all subsequent work on LDPC codes is based. An IEEE Fellow, Dr. Richardson is currently vice president of engineer-ing at Qualcomm Inc., Bridgewater, N.J. Dr. Urbanke is currently a professor with the Communications and Computer Sciences Department at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland.

For advancements in the theory and practice of high-frequency power conversion systems

Charles A. Desoer’s cutting-edge research and teaching have in-fluenced generations of engineers and improved the use of electric circuits and systems. His work on the analytical foundations of circuit and system theory came at a time of explosive develop-ment in methods for the analysis and synthesis of complex circuits for the integrated-circuit industry. Dr. Desoer’s clear statement of what was analytically verifiable in control applications transformed an industry. With landmark textbooks—considered the most au-thoritative in the field of circuits, systems and control—he presented methodologies now found in modern electronics and set systems theory within a firm and elegant conceptual framework. His work on linear and nonlinear circuits provided the growing in-tegrated-circuit market with a needed foundation in nonlinear circuit analysis, simulation and synthesis. Dr. Desoer, who passed away on 1 November 2010, was an IEEE Life Fellow and an Emeritus Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley.

Praveen Jain’s advancements of power conversion methods have improved the use of power electronics for practical real-life applications, including the space, telecommunica-tions and computer industries. During the late 1980s, Dr. Jain developed a new class of single-stage ac-to-dc convert-ers for high-frequency distribution systems that provided reduced mass and volume as well as conservation of stored energy on a spacecraft. During the 1990s, Dr. Jain was one of the first to propose using asymmetrical pulse width modula-tion control for constant frequency operation of resonant converters. This revolutionized the design of highly reliable, high-density power supplies for the telecommunications industry. An IEEE Fellow, Dr. Jain is professor, Canada Research Chair and director with the Centre for Energy and Power Electronics Research (ePOWER) at Queen’s University, Kingston, Ont., Canada.

The persistence and contributions of Mark L. Burgener and Ronald E. Reedy overcame barriers to make silicon on sapphire (SOS) technology commercially feasible for wireless communications. Drs. Burgener and Reedy stood by SOS technology that, despite great promise, had initially been abandoned by semiconductor market leaders. First discov-ered during the 1960s, SOS technology presented manufacturing problems that prevented companies from pursuing commercialization. The efforts of Drs. Burgener and Reedy during the 1980s and 1990s overcame these obstacles, making SOS commercially viable for producing integrated circuits with improved speed, lower power consumption and

more isolation compared to bulk silicon circuits. Even after demonstrating viable SOS circuits, the pair had to erase the stigma associated with the earlier problems. They co-found-ed Peregrine Semiconductor in 1990 to spur their commercialization efforts. They developed the UltraCMOS process, which solved critical manufacturing issues and made SOS cost-effective. After an initial shipment of 100 chips in 1995, today Peregrine has sold over 500 million UltraCMOS integrated circuits. Both IEEE Members, Dr. Burgener is vice president of advanced research and Dr. Reedy is the chief operating officer at Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation, San Diego, Calif.

Shafi Goldwasser is one of the key figures responsible for the success of modern cryptography in providing secure electronic data transmission and exchange. In 1983, her work on probabi-listic encryption with Silvio Micali demonstrated how to use randomness to define and achieve semantic security. She produced one of the most celebrated results in modern cryptog-raphy in 1985 with her work on zero-knowledge proofs with Silvio Micali and Charles Rackoff. This special type of interactive proof allows one to prove possession of information or property without revealing the information itself. In the area of complexity theory, Dr. Goldwasser and co-authors showed a new method to classify the complexity of even approximating the solution of NP complete problems. An IEEE Member, Dr. Goldwasser is the RSA Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, and professor of computer science at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel.

C.J. Chang-Hasnain’s groundbreaking contributions to the physics and design of vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) have been instrumental in establishing VCSELs as the dominant tech-nology for multimode fiber applications. Used in applications ranging from Ethernet data networks to computer mice to laser printers, VCSELs can be turned on and off very fast and manufac-tured at very low cost in wafer-scale. Dr. Chang-Hasnain explained the modal structure of VCSELs and demonstrated the first planar structure, which was commercialized. She was first to demon-strate a multiwavelength VCSEL array for multimode-fiber interconnects and a 140-wavelength array with precise wave-length variation. She developed the first tunable VCSEL structure with a wide tuning range and later invented a high-contrast grating, which led to a tunable laser with a 160x speed improve-ment. An IEEE Fellow, Dr. Chang-Hasnain is currently the John R. Whinnery Chair Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley.

Hans-Paul Schwefel’s groundbreaking contributions to evolution strategies helped define the field of evolutionary computation and have had lasting impact on the computational intelligence community. Working with fellow students Ingo Rechenberg and Peter Bienert at the Technical University of Berlin during the mid 1960s, Dr. Schwefel‘s contributions concerned the first theoreti-cal investigations and industrial application of the shape optimization of a supersonic nozzle for a one-component two-phase flow. He pioneered the shift from experiments done by hand to computational optimization by introducing the col-lective self-adaptation of internal parameters within evolutionary algorithms, which helped to make such methods effective and efficient. He later introduced evolutionary principles beyond variation and natural selection into the algorithms to handle special features of the search space. An IEEE Fellow, Dr. Schwefel is Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at the Technical University of Dortmund, Germany.

“Propagation Issues for Cognitive Radio” by Andreas F. Molisch, Larry J. Greenstein and Mansoor Shafi, provides valuable infor-mation critical to the success of cognitive radio (CR), an important developing area of wireless communications. The paper, which appeared in the May 2009 issue of the Proceedings of the IEEE (vol. 97, no. 5, pp. 787-804), covers the essentials of wireless propagation issues in a format suitable for CR research-ers, providing access to information limited previously to propagation researchers. CR aims to improve spectral efficien-cy of licensed communications frequencies by using unlicensed radios that can recognize usage or non-usage at a given frequency and be allowed to transmit at that frequency during intervals of non-usage. The paper gains its accessibility through extensive use of intuitive descriptions and analogies, using equations sparingly but maintaining a rigorous presentation. Its

importance lies in its ability to enable CR researchers to choose good channel models, which is key to demonstrating low inter-ference of the radios to primary spectrum users. An IEEE Fellow, Dr. Molisch is currently a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, where he heads the Wireless Devices and Systems (WiDeS) group. An IEEE Life Fellow, Dr. Greenstein is currently a research associate with Rutgers University’s WINLAB, North Brunswick, N.J., col-laborating on new aspects of wireless communications.An IEEE Fellow, Dr. Shafi is currently a Telecom Fellow (Wireless) with Telecom New Zealand, Wellington, where he advises on future directions of wireless technologies and standards. He repre-sents the New Zealand government in the meetings of the World Radio Conference and in the meetings of ITU and APT relating to wireless and spectrum standards.

As Director of Governance, Ms. Cozin is the Corporate Secretary and Parliamentarian for the Board of Directors. She currently su-pervises a group of eight staff members.

Ms. Cozin and her staff provide support to the IEEE Board of Directors, to its President and Chief Executive Officer and to the IEEE Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer. They also provide support to the IEEE Assembly which, among other duties, elects members to the Board of Directors. In their support to the IEEE Board and Assembly, they prepare motions and discussion items for meetings; provide context and deci-sion-making data; prepare and distribute agendas, minutes and historical documents; assist in real-time management of meetings; and maintain the archives and corporate records.

Ms. Cozin and her staff also support the IEEE Governance Committee, which reviews, maintains and recommends revisions to governance-related documents and processes and recommends efficiencies to the Board. In their support for the IEEE Tellers Committee, Ms. Cozin and her staff are responsi-ble for facilitating the IEEE Annual Election, which distributes ballot materials to nearly 310,000 eligible voters. They support the Nominations and Appointments Committee, charged with recommending roughly 140 candidates to the IEEE Board of Directors and IEEE Assembly for positions on the Board, including President-Elect and for Chairs and members of Standing Committees. Ms. Cozin and her staff also oversee the Ombudsman process for IEEE members and the Ethics and Member Conduct Committee, which is responsible for IEEE’s ethic’s programs and member complaint process. They also advise the major Boards of IEEE in all matters of governance and parliamentary rules.

Ms. Cozin received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the State University of New York at Albany in English and Business in 1980. She is a member of the National Association of Parliamentarians (NAP) and is currently working toward her Registered Parliamentarian certification. She is also a member of the American Society of Corporate Secretaries and Governance Professionals (ASCS), the American Society for Association Executives (ASAE) and the National Association of Professional Women (NAPW).

IEEE Foundation Donor Recognition Program With contributions from generous sponsors around the world, the IEEE Foundation provides philanthropic services that advance technology and education for the benefit of humanity. Every donor who makes a gift to the IEEE Foundation makes a difference.

We formally recognize donors for their generous support in three ways:• Annual Giving Program • IEEE Heritage Circle • IEEE Goldsmith Legacy League

Annual Giving Program To express gratitude and appreciation, the IEEE Foundation distinguishes individuals, corporations and friends who contribute US$100 or more during the calendar year. Donors are listed in our annual Honor Roll of Donors, which is distributed in June. The A

has four member categories to recognize gifts of US$100 to $999. The L has seven member categories to recognize gifts of US$1000 and more.

IEEE Heritage Circle – Honored PhilanthropistsThe philanthropic spirit among IEEE Foundation donors reflects a strong desire and willingness to personally ‘give back’ to IEEE. Our donors are loyal and true, giving consistently and generously throughout their career and lifetime. We recognize this level of ongoing commitment from our Honored Philanthropists in the I

.

Honored Philanthropists are individuals whose donations to IEEE Foundation total US$10,000 or more since 1 January 1995. Automatically recognized as members of the I donors are categorized respectively within five named giving levels.

The IEEE Development Office provides confidential information regarding the status of cumulative gifts of cash, stock, gifts of cash prizes, pledge payments, gifts of royalties and donor advised gifts, and alerts contributors when milestones are reached.

IEEE Goldsmith Legacy League – Forever GenerousThe I is an elite group of donors whose planned giving makes them Forever Generous. The group is named for Alfred N. and Gertrude Goldsmith whose philanthropic vision seeded the IEEE Foundation’s ability to support IEEE’s mission.Members of the I are building tomorrow by leaving legacy gifts to benefit future generations of engineers.

Members include a bequest in their will or trust document. Others name the IEEE Foundation asbeneficiary of a life insurance policy, retirement plan or charitable remainder trust. To join simplycontact the IEEE Development Office and let them know you have arranged for a planned gift to either IEEE or IEEE Foundation.
