RECOGNITIONS

Robert Adams, IEEE CASS Member, Elected to NAE 2018 Class

The IEEE CAS Society wishes to congratulate, IEEE CASS member, Robert Adams, for his election to the National Academy of Engineering as part of the 2018 class. Robert has been a distinguished CASS and IEEE member for many years. He was awarded the IEEE CASS Industrial Pioneer Award in 2016, as well as serving as a plenary speaker for ISCAS 2016.

Election to the National Academy of Engineering is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer.  Academy membership honors those who have made outstanding contributions to "engineering research, practice, or education, including, where appropriate, significant contributions to the engineering literature" and to "the pioneering of new and developing fields of technology, making major advancements in traditional fields of engineering, or developing/ implementing innovative approaches to engineering education."

Robert Adams, Analog Devices Inc., Acton, Mass.  Was elected for contributions to digital storage and reproduction of high-fidelity audio.
