Professor Named IEEE Fellow
Outstanding achievements are recognized
Mark Horenstein, a Boston University College of Engineering professor of electrical and computer engineering, has been named an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Fellow for his contributions to the modeling and measurements of electrostatics in industrial processes. His experimental and theoretical work focuses on some of the more complex electrostatic problems that relate to instrumentation and safety and on understanding the fundamental theories behind many industrial processes. His work spans such broad subjects as the propagating brush discharge, electrostatic phenomena in MEMS devices, modeling of corona discharge, and the electrostatics of parachutes. He currently develops technology for self-cleaning photovoltaic solar panels and concentrating solar mirrors, and ultra-sensitive electrostatic field sensors.
With 400,000 members in 160 countries, the IEEE is the world’s foremost professional association for advancing technology for humanity, and is a leading authority in areas ranging from aerospace systems to computers and telecommunications to biomedical engineering, electric power, and consumer electronics.
The IEEE Board of Directors confers the grade of Fellow for outstanding accomplishments in any of the organization’s areas of interest. The number of fellows selected in any one year cannot exceed one-tenth of one-percent of the total voting membership. IEEE Fellow is the highest grade of membership one can attain and is recognized by the technical community as an exceptionally prestigious honor and extremely significant career achievement.
