Computer science professors earn IEEE fellow honor
Song Jiang and Jeff Lei, professors in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at 糖心Vlog视频, have been named fellows of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
Dr. Jiang was selected for “contributions to algorithms and systems development of memory and storage management,” while Dr. Lei was cited for “contributions to combinatorial methods in software testing and their applications.”
“This is a timely example of the quality of our faculty and the cutting-edge research that they are involved with,” said Hong Jiang, Wendell H. Nedderman Endowed Professor and chair of the Computer Science and Engineering Department. “Dr. Jiang and Dr. Lei have made significant contributions to the base of knowledge in their respective areas and are truly deserving of this honor.”
Jiang’s research focuses on system infrastructure for big data processing—such as file and storage systems and data management systems—and I/O systems for high-performance computing. Lei’s research spans software engineering and machine learning, with an emphasis on trustworthy AI software, software testing and software security.
Jiang and Lei join 13 other College of Engineering professors who have earned IEEE fellow status. Fewer than one-tenth of 1% of IEEE members worldwide are selected each year for the honor, which is reserved for those with an extraordinary record of accomplishments in IEEE fields of interest.
IEEE is the world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. It has more than 421,000 members in over 160 countries.
