December 12 2014 - 08:30AM
InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq:IDCC), a mobile technology research and
development company, today announced that Dr. Monisha Ghosh, a
principal engineer in its InterDigital Labs group, has been named
an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Fellow,
effective January 1, 2015, for her work benefiting the technical
advancement of the wireless industry.
IEEE Fellows are elected based on outstanding records of
accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest. IEEE Fellow
is the highest grade of membership and is recognized by the
technical community as a prestigious honor and career achievement.
The total number of IEEE Fellows selected in any one year does not
exceed one-tenth of one percent of the total voting IEEE
membership.
Over the past 23 years, Dr. Ghosh has made a series of
significant contributions to the analysis and design of practical
communications systems and in the application of signal processing
algorithms to communication systems such as HDTV digital
broadcasting, cable and, more recently, cognitive radio for TV
White Spaces. Her work on TV White Spaces spanned the technical,
regulatory and standardization fronts, with significant
contributions to the IEEE 802.22 standard. Her current areas of
research are in next generation Wi-Fi and 5G cellular
systems.
"It underscores the strength of InterDigital Labs and our
research to have one of our current researchers chosen to hold the
title of IEEE Fellow, which is a very select honor," said Dr. Byung
K. Yi, Executive Vice President, InterDigital Labs, and Chief
Technology Officer at InterDigital. "IEEE is held in high industry
regard and is an organization that InterDigital works with closely
to advance wireless technology. This honor underscores Dr. Ghosh's
commitment to wireless innovation, and validates her position as an
industry leader."
InterDigital's association with the IEEE organization is
longstanding. Brian Kiernan, recently retired Vice President and
Chief Scientist at InterDigital, was awarded the IEEE Computer
Society Hans Karlsson Award in 2013. The award is presented in
recognition of outstanding skills and diplomacy, team facilitation
and joint achievement in the promotion of computer standards.
Through its 400,000 members in 160 countries, the IEEE is a
leading authority on a wide variety of areas ranging from aerospace
systems, computers and telecommunications to biomedical
engineering, electric power and consumer electronics. IEEE
publishes 30 percent of the world's literature in the electrical
and electronics engineering and computer science fields, and has
developed more than 900 active industry standards. The association
also sponsors or co-sponsors nearly 400 international technical
conferences each year.
