Fellows | IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society

IEEE Fellows

Recognizing the achievements of its members is an important part of the mission of IEEE. Each year, following a rigorous evaluation procedure, the IEEE Board of Directors confers a selected group of members for elevation to IEEE Fellow. The IEEE Fellow is the highest grade of membership in the IEEE. Less than 0.1% of voting members are selected annually for this member grade elevation. It is recognized by the technical community as a prestigious honour and an important career achievement.

These links provide more information about the steps to become a Fellow and how you can participate in the Fellow election process. MTT-S also has a Fellow Search Committee who can help candidates to make good nominations. More information can be found here.
