Ravindra Joshi has been named Life Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

Ravindra Joshi, Department Chair and Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas Tech University’s Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College of Engineering, has been named a Life Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

IEEE Life Fellow is one of the most prestigious honors awarded by the IEEE, the world’s largest technical professional organization. The designation is reserved for Fellows of the IEEE, already the highest grade of membership who have demonstrated extraordinary accomplishments in their fields and a sustained commitment to the organization. Life Fellow status further recognizes those whose combined age and years of IEEE service exceed 100.

Joshi was elevated to IEEE Fellow in 2008 for his contributions to the fields of pulsed power, high-power microwaves, high field transport and semiconductor modeling, electrophysics, and bio-electrics. His continued professional achievements and longstanding service to the IEEE community have now earned him the rare distinction of Life Fellow, an honor held by less than 0.1 percent of the total IEEE membership.
