IEEE Honors Engineering Pioneers
E
very year the IEEE Awards
Board recommends a select
group of recipients to receive
IEEE's most prestigious honors.
These are individuals whose exceptional
achievements and outstanding
contributions have made a lasting
impact on technology, society, and
the engineering profession. This year
at the IEEE Vision, Innovation, and
Challenges Summit (VICS) and Honors
Ceremony in Atlanta, GA, USA,
there were several recipients of the
IEEE medals. Amongst them were
Vinton " Vint " Cerf, widely known as
the " Father of the Internet, " remote
sensing pioneer Melba Crawford,
National Instruments (NI) Cofounder
James Truchard, and robotics and
artificial intelligence (AI) gurus Rodney
Brooks and Lydia Kavraki. Other
notable names in the power and
semiconductor arena included Canadian
Professor Kamal Al-Haddad, silicon
carbide (SiC) material pioneer
Hiroyuki Matsunami, and superjunction
power devices researchers Tatsuhiko
Fujihira, David James Coe,
and Gerald Deboy.
The 2023 IEEE Medal of Honor
went to Vint Cerf who codesigned
the internet protocol and transmission
control protocol. An IEEE Life
Fellow, Cerf is being recognized " for
co-creating the internet architecture
and providing sustained leadership
in its phenomenal growth in
becoming society's critical
infrastructure. "

Dresselhaus Medal for contributions
to remote sensing technology and
leadership in its application for the
benefit of humanity.
L i kewi se, NI 's Cofounder
Truchard was the recipient of the
IEEE James H. Mulligan, Jr. Education
Medal for the development of
LabVIEW and establishing worldwide
programs to enhance hands-on learning
in laboratories and classrooms.
And robotics guru Brooks was honored
with the IEEE Founders Medal
for leadership in research and
commercialization of autonomous
robotics, including mobile, humanoid,
service, and manufacturing
robots. The IEEE Frances E. Allen
Medal was awarded to Kavraki for
foundational probabilistic algorithms
and randomized search methods that
have broad impact in robotic motion
planning and computational biology.
Prof. Maryam Saeedifard of Georgia
Tech represented IEEE Power
Electronics Society (PELS) to help
give the IEEE Medal in Power Engineering
to Prof. Al-Haddad (Figure 1),
