Assistant Professor Ahmedullah Aziz was recently elevated to the grade of Senior Member of the IEEE, the world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity.

“I am grateful to the selection committee for choosing to elevate me,” said Aziz. “I look forward to contributing to the technical activities of IEEE Region 3 and beyond.”

Aziz proved himself for this level in a relatively short time, having come to UT after receiving his PhD in electrical and computer engineering from Purdue University in 2019. He works within the Nanoelectronic Devices and Integrated Circuits (NorDIC) Lab within the Min Kao EECS department. His research explores device-circuit-system co-design techniques with an emphasis on emerging technologies such as complex-oxide electronics, ferroelectrics, and spintronics. He has published more than 60 scientific articles in a number of prestigious platforms.

Senior Member is the highest professional grade for which an IEEE member may apply, requiring extensive experience. It reflects professional accomplishment and maturity— only 10% of more than 400,000 members have achieved this level.

IEEE members seek to inspire the global community through highly cited publications, conferences, technology standards, and professional and educational activities.
