A distinction conferred by the IEEE Board of Directors, it is considered by the technical community to be a prestigious honor and an important career achievement.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EEmelianov was recognized for his contributions to ultrasound elasticity and photoacoustic imaging. He is the Joseph M. Pettit Chair Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and a Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar.\u0026nbsp;An expert in biomedical imaging instrumentation and nanoagents for imaging and therapy, Emelianov\u0026nbsp;has joint appointments with the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University. He\u0026nbsp;is also a professor of Radiology at the Emory University School of Medicine and is affiliated with\u0026nbsp;Winship Cancer Institute\u0026nbsp;and other clinical units.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EEmelianov is the director of the\u0026nbsp;Ultrasound Imaging and Therapeutics Research Laboratory, where his group works on the discovery, development, and clinical translation of diagnostic imaging and therapeutic instrumentation, augmented with theranostic nanoagents\u0026ndash;small particles that can diagnose and then treat a specific disease. He is a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, and he has served as vice president for Ultrasonics of the IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control Society.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFujimoto, a Regents\u0026rsquo; Professor in the\u0026nbsp;School of Computational Science and Engineering, was honored for his work in the field of parallel and distributed discrete event simulation. Discrete event simulations model operations within a system and have uses in a wide variety of applications. Fujimoto has authored and co-authored hundreds of technical papers on the subject as well as several books, which span application areas including transportation systems, telecommunication networks, and multiprocessor and defense systems.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHe was also named a\u0026nbsp;\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.iitsec.org\/\u0022\u003E2019 Interservice\/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I\/ITSEC) Fellow\u003C\/a\u003E.

Fleming Chair of Telecommunications in the School of Computer Science and co-director of the Center for Research into Novel Computing Hierarchies, received his distinction\u0026nbsp;for contributions to compiler technologies for high-performance computing. His work in this area spans multiple aspects of parallel computing software including programming languages, compilers, runtime systems, and debugging and verification systems for high performance computers.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESarkar has numerous recognitions in the field. He became a member of the IBM Academy of Technology in 1995 and an ACM Fellow in 2008. He has been serving as a member of the U.S. Department of Energy\u0026rsquo;s Advanced Scientific Computing Advisory Committee (ASCAC) since 2009 and has served on CRA\u0026rsquo;s Board of Directors since 2015.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe IEEE \u0026ndash; short for\u0026nbsp;the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers \u0026ndash;\u0026nbsp;is the world\u0026rsquo;s leading professional association for advancing technology for humanity.
