IEEE SYRACUSE SECTION * FELLOWS NIGHT CELEBRATION * 2023

2023 is an outstanding year for the Syracuse Section of the IEEE. We are having our first in-person Fellows Night Celebration since 2019 and we have much to celebrate. There are three new 2023 IEEE Fellows from our Syracuse membership! All three are professors at Syracuse University. Professors Wenliang (Kevin) Du and Vir Phoha, in the College of Engineering and Computer Science, and Britton Plourde, in the College of Arts and Sciences, have been elevated to Fellow status, which is the highest professional designation in the IEEE. Less than 0.1% of IEEE membership is elevated to Fellow status annually.

Professor Du’s contributions are in cybersecurity education and research. Professor Phoha is recognized for his work developing attack-averse active authentication in computing systems using behavioral patterns. Professor Plourde’s contribution is in the integration of qubits into future practical quantum computing systems.

Our evening celebration will start with registration and social hour (cash bar) at 5:30pm and buffet dinner at 6:30pm. After dinner, each of our new 2023 IEEE Fellows will give a brief overview of their research.

Registration is available up to the day of the event (4/20) and the fee is not required at the time of registration. However, please register by 4/17 so we have an accurate count. Payment through this webpage can be made by credit card or paypal. On 4/20, the fee can only be paid by check or cash.
