On Nov. 26th, two USTC alumni, JIANG Xicheng and ZHOU Shengli were elected as IEEE Fellows. IEEE, which is short for The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, is the world's largest professional association dedicated to advancing technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity. With their election, there are now 36 USTC alumni in its over 6700 Fellows. 

JIANG Xicheng

JIANG Xicheng got admitted to USTC in 1986 and studied in department of modern physics. After his graduation in 1993 with a Master’s Degree, he furthered his academic study in department of electronic engineering from 1995 to 2002 and gained Ph.D in UCLA. He has been working from Broadcom since 1997, and now employed as senior director of scientists, manager of chip design and independent design consultant. At the meanwhile, he holds several posts in many international academic organizations, such as editorial board member of IEEE TCAS, committee member of ISSCC, CICC of IEEE. JIANG has abundant experience in design of simulation/RF microelectronics integration chips for over 17 years. He holds more than 10 authorized patents as well as scores of published academic articles. In November 2013, JIANG Xicheng was employed as a visiting professor of USTC and enterprise mentor of graduate students. 

ZHOU Shengli

ZHOU Shengli was enrolled as a student of USTC in 1991 and graduated with Master’s Degree in 1998. He, then, gained his Ph.D in Minnesota State University. He is now a professor in institute of electronics and computer engineering of Connecticut State University as well as director of WCRL and vice director of USWN. His research areas are diverse, including underwater acoustic communication and network, coding theory and application, sensor networks, wireless positioning and target tracking. Plenty of his articles were published on IEEE Journals. He was associate editor of IEEE Trans. On Wireless Communication in 2005-2007, and is now associate editor of IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering and IEEE Trans. On Signal Processing. In 2007, he was presented ‘Presidential Early Career Awards’, which was also the first time for Connecticut State University employees.
As the largest non-profit professional technology institute in the world, it has become an influential international academic organization. Presently, IEEE has more than 400,000 members in over 160 countries. It’s dedicated in development and research of science-related areas and developed more than 900 industrial standards in several fields.
