IEEE Fellow Ravinder Dahiya

Division X Director

Ravinder DahiyaIEEE Sensor Council

Dahiya is a professor of electrical engineering and computer engineering V Northeastern Universityin Boston. He heads the university Flexible Electronics and Sustainable Technologies group.

His research interests include flexible and printed electronicsrobotic tactile perception, electronic skin technology, haptics, wearable devicesand intelligent interactive systems.

Dahiya developed the first energy-generating tactile skinwhich, in addition to providing sensory feedback, generates energy that can operate drives used by robots. His research in robotic tactile sensing has been recognized by the IEEE through the designation of a Fellow.

During COVID-19 pandemicDahiya and his research team developed inexpensive DIY fan And smart bandage which accelerated healing and helped detect signs corona virus through respiratory feedback.

He received his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Kurukshetra University V Kurukshetra, IndiaMaster's degree in electrical engineering from Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi and a PhD in Humanoid Technology from Italian Institute of Technology And University of Genoa, Italy.

He served as president in 2022–2023 IEEE Sensor Councilwhere he launched several initiatives including magazines (e.g. IEEE Journal on Flexible Electronics And IEEE Journal on Selected Areas of Sensors), conferences (for example, IEEE International Conference on Flexible Printed Sensors and Systems And IEEE Biosensors) And Sensors in the spotlight networking event. During his tenure as President, he presided over the 25th anniversary events IEEE Sensor Council.

He was a member of the journal's editorial board IEEE Sensor Magazine from 2012 to 2020, IEEE Transactions on Robotics from 2011 to 2017 and founding editor-in-chief of the magazine IEEE Journal on Flexible Electronics from 2022 to 2023. He has authored or co-authored more than 550 scientific publications as well as eight books, and has received several grants. patents. He has given more than 250 keynotes and lectures around the world, including a 2016 TEDx talk on “Bringing the Inanimate World to Life“

Dahiya received Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council Fellowship And Marie Curie Fellowship. He was awarded the 2016 award. IEEE Sensor Council Technical Achievement Award. He is also a member Royal Society of Edinburgh.

IEEE Senior Member Joseph Wei

Director, Region 6: US West

Joseph WeiTwo dudes photo/FMS Conference

Veteran Silicon ValleyWei combines his over 40 years of entrepreneurial and information Technology space with his passion for investing and mentoring startups. He frequently speaks at global startup conferences on entrepreneurship and technology.

Wei's commitment to promoting innovation and technological progress through mentorship has yielded significant results. One of his portfolio healthcare startups that recently debuted on the public market are valued at more than US$3 billion.

He played a key role in the development of global communications by participating in IEEE Standards Association and its development IEEE 802.11 standard. WiFi became the basis of modern wireless communicationtransforming industries, creating opportunities for the digital economy and connecting communities around the world.

Wei's decades-long efforts to accelerate widespread adoption of open source software have helped businesses of all sizes innovate, reduce technology costs, and foster global collaboration in software development.

He received his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts.

He served as chairman IEEE Santa Clara Valley Section (California)Board of Governors, Chairman IEEE Consumer Technology Society Santa Clara Valley Chapterand chairman IEEE Society for Engineering in Medicine and Biology branch in California. In 2023, it became the largest branch of the society.

He got a special Section Award from the Santa Clara Valley Section in 2020 for outstanding volunteerism and service as a positive role model, and Director's Special Award in 2015 for outstanding achievements as chairman of the Santa Clara Valley Section, managing and organizing this largest section in the world to make it more effective, and for supporting major IEEE Region 6 initiatives.

Wei credits the exceptional training and extensive network of experts he has accumulated through his volunteer work with IEEE for allowing him to provide valuable insight, industry connections, and experience that help him guide startups and innovators.
