IET Fellow announced
RPI professor Michael Shur has recently been elected as the 2007 Institution of Engineering and Technology Fellow. IET is the largest professional engineering society in Europe and second largest in the world. Shur is being recognized for his “individual responsibility, sustained achievements, and exceptional professionalism,” according to an RPI press release.
Shur is the Patricia W. and C. Sheldon Roberts ’46 Chaired Professor in Solid State Electronics at RPI, and is internationally recognized for his development of new materials and processes that enhance semiconductor and circuit performance. Notably, he has initiated efforts to produce smaller as well as more cost-efficient technologies in lighting and electronics. His research to create a revolutionary type of lighting could have dramatic impacts on energy savings and improving living and working conditions.
Shur is acting director of the Center for Integrated Electronics, director of the Center for Broadband Data Transport Science and Technology, and director of Rensselaer’s “Connection One” site, which is a National Science Foundation and University Cooperative Research Center. | |
