Suozzi INTELEC Fellowship

The INTELEC^® Advisory and Conference Executive Committees sponsor the Joseph J. Suozzi INTELEC Fellowship in Power Electronics.  This fellowship is named in honor of the late Dr. Joseph Suozzi, a founder and long-time leader of INTELEC.  This grant of $15,000 is made annually to an electrical engineering graduate student studying in an area of power electronics applicable to information and communication technology systems.  Such systems include wireline, optical, wireless, data, or combinations of such systems such as the Internet or embedded telecommunications infrastructures. Distributed generation, alternative energy and energy storage for communications networks, smart grids and communication systems interdependencies, or network elements are also suitable areas.

This fellowship is international and is therefore open to electrical engineering graduate students in all countries.  It is a one-time grant to an individual and is not renewable.

Interested electrical engineering graduate students should submit:

• an essay not exceeding one page in length that explains how his/her proposed project can be applied to powering of communications systems
• a transcript of his/her grades
• a letter of support from his/her Faculty Advisor.

These materials should be sent by March 1, 2012 to the Chair of the INTELEC Fellowship Committee:
