Recognizing the achievements of its members is an important part of the mission of the IEEE. Each year, following a rigorous evaluation procedure, the IEEE Fellow Committee recommends a select group of recipients for one of the Institute’s most prestigious honors, elevation to IEEE Fellow.

The IEEE Board of Directors has decided to elevate Dr. Mesut Baran to IEEE Fellow, effective 1 January 2011.  Dr. Mesut Baran is recognized for developments in analysis, monitoring and control methods for electric power distribution systems.

Within the next two months, he will receive an IEEE Fellow pin and certificate.
