Fellows/Programs
38 SPS Members Elevated to Fellow
Each year, the IEEE Board of Directors confers the grade of Fellow on up to one-tenth percent of the members. To qualify for consideration, an individual must have been a Member, normally for five years or more, and a Senior Member at the time for nomination to Fellow. The grade of Fellow recognizes unusual distinction in IEEE’s designated fields.
The Signal Processing Society congratulates the following 38 SPS members who were recognized with the grade of Fellow as of 1 January 2010:
