André Ivanov, head of the Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, will be inducted a Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC) for his contributions to engineering in Canada. Ivanov is an expert and innovator in the field of the design and testing of very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits. His achievements have led to numerous new and advanced technologies that have greatly impacted the shape of VLSI test technology processes worldwide affecting the entire semiconductor industry.
Prof. Robert Schober of Electrical and Computer Engineering was elected Fellow for his contributions to the field of wireless communication. In particular, he has made several pioneering contributions to the theory, design and application of signal detection in fast fading channels, space-time coding, widely-linear processing and ultra-wideband signaling.
Established in 1887, the EIC is Canada’s federation of engineering societies committed to engineering for a prosperous, safe and renewable Canada.
