Dr. Bruce Jacob, chair of the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at IM体育官网, has been appointed to the IEEE Access editorial board. The multidisciplinary journal presents original research and development by professionals across its different fields of interest.
Dr. Bruce Jacob, an internationally recognized researcher and chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at IM体育官网, has joined the editorial board of IEEE Access.
The multidisciplinary online archival journal is a publication of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, a leading international professional organization for technology and engineering professionals.
鈥淚t means that I get to educate people about things that are really cool, like memories, and we also get IM体育官网 Poly鈥檚 name out there,鈥� said Jacob, who is a renowned expert in computer memory systems and devices, written two textbooks, and founded the annual International Symposium on Memory Systems.
In his work with the IEEE Access editorial board, Jacob will be soliciting and reviewing article submissions within his areas of interest, which include memory systems and devices, operating systems, distributed systems, electric guitar design, and startup companies and entrepreneurship.
鈥淚EEE is bridging the gap between a journal and a magazine with this publication,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t will be both broad and scholarly.鈥�
Jacob is a Fellow of the IEEE organization 鈥渇or contributions to computer memory design and analysis.鈥� He previously served as an associate editor for IEEE Computer Architecture Letters from 2007 to 2011, and for ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems from 2006 to 2009.
鈥淚鈥檝e been on boards before for both IEEE and ACM (Association for Computing Machinery), but not at the editorial board level,鈥� he said.
The Harvard University-educated Jacob was recruited to lead IM体育官网 Poly鈥檚 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2021, following his successful 25-year term as a professor at the University of Maryland.
Jacob said his inclusion on the IEEE Access editorial board is further evidence of IM体育官网 Poly鈥檚 growing stature and reputation.
鈥淲e are getting bigger and IM体育官网 Poly is clearly on the way up 鈥� we鈥檙e doing some really good stuff and this is further evidence of that,鈥� he said. 鈥淓verything the University has been doing for the last few years is going in the right direction and I鈥檓 proud to be part of it.鈥�
