A leading Science Foundation Ireland-funded researcher based in University College Dublin’s School of Electrical, Electronic and Mechanical Engineering, Prof. Orla Feely, has been elected a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). This accolade is one of the most prestigious awards in the field of electronic engineering globally, and Prof. Feely has the distinction of being the first Irish female recipient of this Fellowship.
The IEEE is the world’s leading professional association for the advancement of technology. In particular, it is an authoritative global voice on areas such as telecommunications, biomedical engineering, electric power and consumer electronics, and its scientific journals and conferences are the most prestigious in its domain. With more than 375,000 members in over 160 countries, the IEEE is a source of technical and professional information, resources and services.
Speaking following her election as IEEE Fellow, Prof. Feely said “This is a great honour, which I regard as a badge of success not only for myself, but also for SFI, who have been so supportive of my research in recent years, and also for my outstanding team of research colleagues in UCD. Less than 3% of IEEE Fellows are female, and I commend SFI for their efforts in encouraging more young women to choose engineering as a career path. I look forward to making a valuable contribution to the IEEE Fellowship nationally and internationally.”
