3 Concordia professors elected as fellows of the Canadian Academy of Engineering
Three professors from Concordia’s Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science have recently been elected as fellows into the Canadian Academy of Engineering. Roch Glitho, Christian Moreau and M.N.S. Swamy were among 49 new fellows announced by the academy on May 6.
“The election of professors Glitho, Moreau and Swamy to the Canadian Academy of Engineering highlights their exceptional contributions and unwavering dedication to the advancement of engineering disciplines,” says Mourad Debbabi, dean of the Gina Cody School.
“This accolade not only honours their impressive achievements and pivotal role in mentoring emerging engineering talent. It also emphasizes Concordia’s dedication to promoting innovation and leadership within the global engineering community.”
Roch Glitho
Glitho is a professor at the Concordia Institute for Information Systems Engineering and Senior Ericsson Industrial Research Chair at Concordia. He has been pivotal in shaping mobile systems technology from 2G to 5G and beyond.
Glitho’s contributions extend to concrete systems engineering, deployment, international standards setting and impactful publications and patents. His work has particularly influenced the multimedia infrastructure of 3G/4G and network softwarization crucial for 5G and beyond.
Christian Moreau
Moreau has revolutionized the field of thermal spray research globally thanks to his advanced optical sensor innovations. He holds the Canada Research Chair in Thermal Spray and Surface Engineering in the Department of Mechanical, Industrial and Aerospace Engineering at Concordia.
Moreau’s work has notably enhanced the efficiency and reproducibility of thermal spraying processes in industries, especially in the Canadian aerospace sector, through his leadership and technological transfers.
M.N.S. Swamy
A research professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Swamy has earned wide recognition for his extensive career spanning nearly six decades in circuits, systems and signal processing.
He is a fellow of many professional societies, including the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Swamy has also received many awards, including the Van Valkenburg award, the highest one given by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society.
Swamy has been acknowledged for his research and educational contributions, for his role as a dynamic academic leader and for his continued active involvement in the academic community.
The Canadian Academy of Engineering, established in 1987, is dedicated to providing strategic advice on matters of critical importance to Canada and Canadians. Fellows are nominated and elected by their peers, reflecting their standing in the engineering community.
The induction ceremony is scheduled for May 28 in London, Ontario.
