Newly Elected IEEE Fellows for 2004:
In 2003, the following NPSS members were first evaluated by the NPSS Fellow Committee and
elected IEEE Fellows: Grant T. Gullberg, Erik H.M. Heijne, Spencer P. Kuo, Jean-Luc B. Leray, Patrick G.
O'Shea, and Wu-Tsung Weng. Also, the following NPSS members were first evaluated by other IEEE
societies and elected IEEE Fellows: Jerome J. Blair, Michael B. Silevitch and Richard M. Leahy. We proudly
congratulate these newly elected IEEE Fellows. Their biographical sketches and descriptions of their

As the incoming Chair of this committee, I follow in the footprints of the immediate past Chair,
Osamu Ishihara. Osamu has provided outstanding leadership in his role as Chair, and I am sure that I can
speak for the other members of AdCom in stating that we are all extremely grateful for his hard work and
valuable contributions. I appreciate the good advice that he has given me, and I look forward to working
closely with Osamu and the other committee members as we evaluate the candidates this year.
The NPSS Fellow Committee evaluates the Nomination packages and ranks the candidates into
five possible categories: extraordinary qualified (EQ), 86-100, highly qualified (HQ), 51-85, qualified (Q),
16-50, marginally qualified (MQ), 1-15, and Not Yet Qualified (NYQ). The Committee does not have access
to the Fellow Reference Forms for the candidates.
Based in part on the information that I have received from Dr. Ishihara, I present in Table 1 some
statistical data for the years 1999 though 2003. It is my understanding that these data include only those
candidates that were evaluated by the NPSS Fellow Committee.

The IEEE Fellow committee determines fellows by scoring Individual contributions (30 points/80
RJJ_Fellow_AdCom Report021804
points), Evidence of technical accomplishment (10/80) Professional activities (10/80), References (10/80)
and Technical Society evaluation (20/80). The IEEE Fellow committee sees the Fellow Reference Forms.
The NPSS Fellow Committee does not have access to these Fellow Reference Forms.
