The pursuit of discovering one's niche can be arduous. But through time, the leaders that surface give students someone to follow.
In this case, two professors within Oregon State University's School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science were named fellows by one of the most prestigious professional organizations in their field. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is an elite group comprised of members from around the globe who seek to offer guidance, show leadership and foster interest as the world of electrical and electronic technology continues to evolve.
Un-Ku Moon, a member of OSU's top-ranked mixed-signal integration system research cluster, was selected as a fellow of the IEEE and cited for his contributions to low-voltage complementary metal-oxide semiconductor mixed-signal technology.
Moon has also recently received the Engelbrecht Young Faculty Award from OSU's College of Engineering in recognition of outstanding contributions in his field.
Annette Von Jouanne, the founder of OSU's wave energy program, was also selected as a fellow, but for her contributions to the rapidly emerging field of wave energy.
Dating back to 1998, Von Jouanne's passion in renewable energy took shape when she began writing wave energy white papers - authoritative reports that address problems and how to solve them - and giving numerous presentations in an effort to share the untapped opportunities that she felt required attention.
She began to attract funding for a wave energy program that would include the education of future engineers with a keen understanding of the need for renewable technologies.
The efforts of Von Jouanne and Moon toward enhancing OSU's understanding and potential has helped create excellent opportunities and experiences for ambitious students who wish to advance as well.
"We are very proud of Professor Moon's and Professor Von Jouanne's achievements," said Karti Mayaram, acting head of the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
"Their recognition demonstrates the caliber of our engineering faculty ad the impact they are having globally," Mayaram said.
