Throughout his time as President, he led the twenty fifth anniversary occasions of the IEEE Sensors Council.

He was a member of the editorial board of the IEEE Sensors Journal from 2012 to 2020, IEEE Transactions on Robotics from 2011 to 2017 and founding editor-in-chief of IEEE Journal on Versatile Electronics from 2022 to 2023. He has authored or coauthored greater than 550 analysis publications, in addition to eight books, and he has been granted a number of patents. He has introduced greater than 250 keynote addresses and lectures worldwide, together with a 2016 TEDx discuss on “Animating the Inanimate World.”

Dahiya acquired an Engineering and Bodily Sciences Analysis Council fellowship and a Marie Curie fellowship. He was acknowledged with the 2016 IEEE Sensors Council Technical Achievement Award. He’s additionally Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.

IEEE Senior Member Joseph Wei

Director, Area 6: Western U.S.

Joseph WeiTwo Dudes Photograph/FMS Convention

A veteran of Silicon Valley, Wei combines his greater than 40 years of expertise within the entrepreneurial and info know-how area together with his ardour for investing in and mentoring startups. He’s a frequent speaker at world startup conferences on entrepreneurship and know-how.

Wei’s dedication to driving innovation and technological development via mentorship has yielded important outcomes. Considered one of his portfolio healthcare startups not too long ago debuted on the general public market, valued at over US $3 billion.

He performed a key function in advancing world connectivity via his involvement with the IEEE Requirements Affiliation and its improvement of the IEEE 802.11 customary. Wi-Fi has grow to be the muse of recent wi-fi communication, remodeling industries, enabling the digital economic system, and bridging communities worldwide.

Wei’s career-long efforts to speed up the widespread adoption of open-source software program have helped empower companies of all sizes to innovate, scale back their know-how prices, and foster world collaboration in software program improvement.

He holds a bachelor’s diploma in electrical engineering from Tufts College in Medford, Massachusetts.

He has served as chair of the IEEE Santa Clara Valley (California) Part, Board of Governors, chair of IEEE Client Know-how Society’s Santa Clara Valley Chapter, and chair of IEEE Engineering in Drugs and Biology Society chapter in California. In 2023 it grew to become the society’s largest chapter.

He acquired a particular Part Award from the Santa Clara Valley Part in 2020 for his excellent volunteerism and repair as a constructive function mannequin, in addition to a Director’s Particular Award in 2015 for his excellent efficiency because the Santa Clara Valley Part chair, managing and organizing this largest part on the planet to make it simpler and for supporting main IEEE Area 6 initiatives.

Wei credit the distinctive coaching and in depth community of consultants he’s amassed via his IEEE volunteer work for enabling him to offer worthwhile insights, trade connections, and experience that assist him information startups and innovators.
