Good news that Prof Xu Dehong from EE College was newly elevated to IEEE Fellow for his contribution to power electronic applications to renewable energy systems. A total of 297 researchers all around the world received the honor for the year of 2013. Prof Xu is the second person who has ever won the honor in Zhejiang University, preceding Prof He Xiangning from the same college, who was elected IEEE Fellow in the year of 2010.
IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) is the world's largest and most influential academic institution in the field of electrical and electronic engineering, with over 370,000 members worldwide. The number of members selected for elevation to Fellow in any year is limited to at most one-tenth of one percent of the total voting membership. Each year, no more than one-thousandth of the total membership is elected IEEE Fellows, the most prestigious honor granted by IEEE.
