The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has named Professor Hilmi Volkan Demir an IEEE Fellow.
The IEEE Fellow designation is one of the organization’s highest honors, and is bestowed upon a very limited number of IEEE Senior Members who have contributed significantly to the advancement or application of engineering, science and technology. Each year only up to one-tenth of one percent of IEEE voting membership are elevated to the Fellow status.
Prof. Demir was named an IEEE Fellow on the basis of his seminal contributions and leadership in semiconductor nanocrystal optoelectronics, colloidal nanophotonics and related LED lighting technologies.
