Professor Serge Demidenko on IEEE Life Fellow: Honouring a Distinguished Sunway Engineering Academic
Congratulations to Professor Serge Demidenko from Department of Computing and Information Systems who has become the first recipient in Malaysia of the Life Fellowship of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the world's largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. With over 460,000 members in more than 190 countries, IEEE fosters a global community through its numerous publications (over 6 million documents in total and counting), more than 2,000 conferences worldwide that attract around 500,000 attendees annually, more than 1100 active technology standards and over 1000 projects under development, and a wide range of extensive professional and educational activities.
The IEEE Fellow distinction is reserved to acknowledge the extraordinary accomplishments in the fields of interest of IEEE. According to the Institute regulations, no more than 0.1% of the total corporate membership (i.e., excluding student and honorary members) can be elected Fellows in any given year. In 2004, Professor Demidenko made history by becoming the first (and so far, the only) IEEE Fellow in Malaysia in the category of Research Engineer/Scientist for his contributions to Electronic Testing in the large-scale industry setting.
His IEEE Life Fellow recognition two decades later is a special honour acknowledging many years of his loyal membership and extensive support to IEEE activities that include contribution to several key sectors of the Institute. His present prominent positions include being a Member of the IEEE Awards Board, Chair of the IEEE Technical Field Awards Council, and Member of the IEEE Fellow Committee, among others.
Our heartfelt congratulations to Professor Serge Demidenko on his distinguished professional career and we wish for his continued success in the years to come.
