Each year, following a rigorous evaluation procedure, the IEEE Fellow Committee recommends a select group of recipients for elevation to IEEE Fellow. Less than 0.1% of voting members are selected annually for this member grade elevation. Professor Hu was cited for contributions to power modeling and energy management of mobile devices.

The IEEE Grade of Fellow is conferred by the IEEE Board of Directors upon a person with an outstanding record of accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest. Professor Jiao is being recognized for contributions to computational electromagnetics.

A new system that uses a wireless implant has been shown to record for the first time how brain tissue deforms when subjected to the kind of shock that causes blast-induced trauma commonly seen in combat veterans.

The Outstanding Service Award was presented to I-Fan Lin. The Outstanding Active Award was presented to Sambit Mishra. Professor Stanley Chan received the Outstanding Teacher Award, and Professor Mark Bell received the Outstanding Professor Award.
