Professor El-Sharkawi served as the Vice President for Technical Activities of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society. He served as a member of the administrative committee of the IEEE Neural Networks Council representing the IEEE Power Engineering Society, He is the founder of the international conference on the Application of Neural Networks to Power Systems (ANNPS) and co-founder of the international conference on Intelligent Systems Applications to Power (ISAP) and the IEEE-Northwest Energy System Symposium (NWESS). He is also a member of the organizing committees of numerous regional and international conferences. Professor El-Sharkawi is the founding chairman of numerous IEEE task forces, working groups and subcommittees. He organized and chaired numerous panels and special sessions in IEEE and other professional organizations. He organized and taught several international tutorials on intelligent systems applications, energy management systems, renewable energy, electric safety, load forecasting, vulnerability assessment, VAR management, and power systems operations. Professor El-Sharkawi is a member of the editorial boards and is the associate editor of several journals. He served as editor/co-editor of several IEEE tutorial books on Intelligent Systems and Applications. He published over 200 papers and book chapters in his research areas. He authored two textbooks on fundamentals of Electric Drives and Electric Energy: An Introduction. He also authored and co-authored 5 research books in the area of intelligent systems and power systems. He holds 5 licensed patents in the area of renewable energy VAR management, and minimum arc sequential circuit breaker switching.
Professor Christie is presently working in the technical areas of distribution reliability and deregulation. When he is not engaged in this research, Professor Christie places a great emphasis on developing educational programs and curriculum within the EE department. Recently, he has served as the Department ABET Coordinator for EC (2000) as well as conducting research with the NSF Combined Research/Curriculum grant, (1998-01). Presently, Prosfessor Christie serves as the EE Department's Undergraduate Coordinator.
Professor Mamishev serves as Director of SEAL (Sensors, Energy, and Automation Laboratory) and the EEIC (Electric Energy Industrial Consortium). SEAL's lab mission is to create new sensor and automation technology applications in such fields as power engineering, non-destructive testing, and manufacturing control using latest advances in signal processing, robotics, and communications. Active projects in the lab are areas of power quality, underground cable maintenance, sensors, and energy-efficient devices. His recent accomplishments include: Best paper in the session award in Systemics, Cybernetics, and Informatics Conference, 2001; Outstanding IEEE Branch Advisor Award, 2001; nominated for the UW CoE Outstanding Faculty Award, UW EE Outstanding Teaching Award, and for UW EE Outstanding Research Advisor Award, 2001; and receiving an NSF CAREER Award, 2001
Since 1969, Professor Damborg has been with the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Washington. Recently, Professor Damborg has published papers on Wide-Area Adaptive Protection under the EPRI/DoD SPID grant and worked with Professor Liu on Web-based Tutoring. He has also received many honors during his career including: the Prize Paper Award, IEEE Power System Relaying Committee (1991), the Distinguished Achievement Award, University of Michigan (1969), and a Fulbright Fellowship, Delft Technological University (1966).
