Professor Wakin to be elevated to IEEE Fellow on January 1st. Congratulations!
The following is from an email Prof. Wakin received:
Dear Michael B. Wakin:
Recognizing the achievements of its members is an important part of the mission of the IEEE. Each year, following a rigorous evaluation procedure, the IEEE Fellow Committee recommends a select group of recipients for elevation to IEEE Fellow. Less than 0.1% of voting members are selected annually for this member grade elevation.
It is my great pleasure to inform you that the IEEE Board of Directors, at its November 2020 meeting, elevated you to IEEE Fellow, effective 1 January 2021, with the following citation:
for contributions to sparsity-based signal processing and compressive sensing
Within the next two months, you will receive your IEEE Fellow pin and certificate. Both serve as visible recognition of your elevation to the highest grade of membership in the IEEE.
You bring honor to yourself and to IEEE by your achievements. Congratulations!
Mines invites applications for multiple tenured / tenure-track faculty positions
Professor Simoes has published a new book!
Professor Elsherbeni selected as a new distinguished lecturer of IEEE A-PS
Professor Elsherbeni has been selected as one of the new distinguished lecturers of IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society for the period of 2020-2022. As a part of being a distinguished lecturer, Prof Elsherbeni will give lectures at AP chapters in developing countries.

2020 Girls Lead the Way Program
On Saturday, Feb 29, the Electrical Engineering department hosted two workshop for the Girls Lead the Way. Ten Mines students worked with over 45 high school women in a soldering activity they brought home with them. While soldering they learned about basic electrical circuits, LEDs and got a chance to talk to our students about what it is like to be an engineering student.
In 2024, the year of our 150th anniversary, we will celebrate Colorado School of Mines’ past, present and possibilities. By celebrating and supporting the Campaign for MINES@150 you will help elevate Mines to be an accessible, top-of-mind and first-choice for students, faculty, staff, recruiters and other external partners. When you give, you are ensuring Mines becomes even more distinctive and highly sought-after by future students, alumni, industry, and government partners over the next 150 years. We look forward to celebrating Mines’ sesquicentennial with you and recognizing the key role you play in making the MINES@150 vision a reality through your investments of time, talent and treasure.

- Congratulations to Abdulhakeem Alsaleem on winning 3rd place in the Mines Solar Challenge. The picture seen here is his novel Board Design. Below is some info about the project. Great work and keep it up!
The main purpose of this project is to design a very thin micro-inverter to be seamlessly mounted on a PV panel. Micro-inverters allow a single PV solar array panel to be connected to the grid, or also to work in stand-alone. This power electronic project provides flexibility, reliability, low maintenance, also retrofitting to already installed PV panels. The design and implementation for such a very thin and compact micro-inverter can replace junction boxes, making PV panels more aesthetically appealing, allowing them to be individually mounted on lighting poles, building entrances, as well as in public spaces where a convenient AC outlet powered by solar energy can provide people a connection for their AC portable equipment.
