IEEE Fellow is a distinction reserved for select IEEE members whose extraordinary accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest are deemed fitting of this prestigious grade elevation.

Please Note: If you have already agreed to serve in the 2016 IEEE-CS Fellows Evaluation Committee, you cannot serve as a nominator, endorser or reference for any nominee being evaluated by the IEEE Computer Society.
