Afshin Daryoush, PhD ’86, professor of electrical and computer engineering, has been named an
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Life Fellow.
IEEE Life membership is proof of a strong sustained commitment to the
profession and is bestowed on members over the age of 65 whose age and
years of membership add up to over 100. IEEE is the largest
professional engineering organization in the world.
Daryoush is a longtime member and regular collaborator within IEEE. In
1998, he was among the youngest members of the organization to be
elevated as a Fellow of IEEE for contributions to the field of
nonlinear microwave photonics with applications to highspeed fiberoptic
links. He has conducted research in microwave photonics for
telecommunication, satellite communications and biomedical engineering
applications, resulting in publication of over 200 technical papers and
five book chapters. His work has been published in journals across the
three technical societies IEEE – Microwave Theory & Technologies,
Photonics), and Antenna & Propagation
“Being part of IEEE and working within its societies has been one of
the most delightful experiences of my professional life, and I have
encouraged the exceptional engineers I work with to pursue membership.”
Daryoush said. “Three of my former PhD students are now fellows of IEEE
and one is in the process of reaching this recognition. I have also
supported fellowship applications of many international friends and
colleagues. It is now even a greater joy for me to stand among ‘Life
Fellows’ that I have respected as scholars and enjoyed learning from
their technical publications.”
