The IFAC Fellow Award is given to persons who have made outstanding and extraordinary contributions in the field of interest of IFAC, in the role as an Engineer/Scientist, Technical Leader, or Educator. The first Fellows were elected at the IFAC World Congress in Prague in July 2005.
The Fellow Selection Committee (FSC) for the period 2020 - 2023 consists of:
Christos G. Cassandras (Chair), Panos Antsaklis, Maria Domenica Di Benedetto, Roger Goodall, Shinji Hara, Marios M. Polycarpou, Jeff S. Shamma, Claire Tomlin, Ji-Feng Zhang.
The Fellow Search Committee consists of: Anders Rantzer (Chair), Francoise Lamnabhi-Lagarrigue, Naomi Leonard, Li Qiu, Mathukumalli Vidyasagar. The role of this committee is to help finding suitable candidates to nominate as Fellows.
Fellows elected for the period 2017 - 2020
Pins and Certificates will be presented at the 2020 World Congress in Berlin.
