Also named IEEE Fellows were <a href=\"https:\/\/engineering.dartmouth.edu\/people\/faculty\/paul-meaney\">Paul Meaney<\/a>, PhD, a professor of engineering at Thayer School of Engineering, and <a href=\"http:\/\/web.cs.dartmouth.edu\/people\/hany-farid\">Hany Farid<\/a>, PhD, the Albert Bradley 1915 Third Century Professor of Computer Science and chair of the\u00a0Department of Computer Science at Dartmouth.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow status, an honor that is more than a century old, is granted to IEEE members who have demonstrated \u201cextraordinary accomplishment,\u201d according to the institute\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<p>Sarpeshkar\u00a0is the Thomas E. Kurtz Professor of Physics, a professor of engineering at Thayer School of Engineering, and a professor of microbiology and immunology, and of physiology and neurobiology at the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/geiselmed.dartmouth.edu\/\">Geisel School of Medicine<\/a>. The IEEE board of directors cited Sarpeshkar \u201cfor contributions to ultra low-power biomedical electronics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m very pleased that Dr. Sarpeshkar has received this honor,\u201d said Duane Compton, PhD, dean of the Geisel School of Medicine. \u00a0\u201cHis interdisciplinary approach and thinking is at the cutting edge in solving biomedical research problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sarpeshkar is the head of Dartmouth\u2019s first cluster initiative\u2014the William H. Neukom Academic Cluster in Computational Science. Sarpeshkar\u2019s fundamental work has been applied to implantable medical devices, synthetic biology, systems biology, neural prosthetics, bio-inspired, and ultra-energy-efficient systems. He has built low-power and battery-free implants that aid the deaf and paralyzed. He is working on an ultra-fast supercomputer that can test drugs virtually and he is figuring out how to reprogram immune cells to fight cancer. Sarpeshkar plans to build a new kind of supercomputer that would simulate the actions of all the cells in an organ and allow scientists to test drugs in a computer rather than on patients or animals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s wonderful to see our two Thayer faculty colleagues and computer science chair Hany Farid all recognized by IEEE for their outstanding research accomplishments,\u201d says Thayer Dean\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/engineering.dartmouth.edu\/people\/faculty\/joseph-helble\">Joseph Helble<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cRahul is one of the world\u2019s leaders in developing low-power electronics for biomedical applications, and Paul has been one of the pioneers in developing and then translating to the clinic advances in non-invasive imaging using microwave tomography.\u00a0Rahul and Paul\u2019s recognition brings to seven the number of current Thayer faculty honored as IEEE Fellows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The IEEE, through its more than 400,000 members in 160 countries, is an acknowledged authority on a variety of areas, including aerospace systems, computers and telecommunications, biomedical engineering, electric power, and consumer electronics. Recognizing the achievements of its members is an important part of the IEEE\u2019s mission. Each year, the IEEE Fellow Committee recommends a select group of recipients for elevation to IEEE Fellow.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full story at <a href=\"https:\/\/news.dartmouth.edu\/news\/2017\/11\/three-dartmouth-scientists-named-ieee-fellows-2018\">News.Dartmouth.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Geisel Professor Rahul Sarpeshkar, PhD is one of three Dartmouth faculty being honored as 2018 Fellows of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the world\u2019s leading professional association for advancing technology for humanity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":9064,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[679,1,8],"tags":[610,38,207,633,876],"class_list":["post-9063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-insider","category-news","category-research","tag-academic-cluster","tag-faculty","tag-faculty-recognition","tag-features","tag-ieee","author-15"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/geiselmed.dartmouth.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/12\/Rahul-Sarpeshkar-EB-001-nc.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4r3h1-2mb","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/geiselmed.dartmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/geiselmed.dartmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/geiselmed.dartmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/geiselmed.dartmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/geiselmed.dartmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9063"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/geiselmed.dartmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9063\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9067,"href":"https:\/\/geiselmed.dartmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9063\/revisions\/9067"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/geiselmed.dartmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/geiselmed.dartmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/geiselmed.dartmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/geiselmed.dartmouth.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
