Electronics Awards

Dear Colleagues,

As Editor-in-Chief of Electronics, I am pleased to announce the two winners of the 2019 Travel Award sponsored by Electronics.

The Awards were granted to Dr. Raheleh Jafari, a postdoctoral fellow at University of Agder Grimstad, Norway, and Dr. Theofanis Raptis, a postdoctoral fellow at The National Research Council (CNR), Italy. The awards consist of 800 Swiss Frances each to support attendance at any academic conference in 2019.

Dr. Raheleh Jafari’s current research interests include fuzzy logic, fuzzy equations, neural networks, artificial intelligence, fuzzy control, machine learning, stability analysis, system identification, and nonlinear system modeling.

The research interests of Dr. Theofanis Raptis include data distribution in industrial networks, distributed algorithms for wirelessly powered networks, and experimentation with IoT testbeds and platforms.

Electronics is proud to support these young researchers working in the field of electronics, and wish them further success in their careers. We are grateful to all who submitted applications—thank you for letting us get to know you and your work. We hope all of you continue to pay attention to Electronics in the future.

We are pleased to announce the winner of the Electronics Young Investigator Award 2019, Dr. Juan C. Vasquez, a Professor at the Department of Energy Technology, Aalborg University.

Over the last 10 years, Prof. Vasquez has published over 180 papers in international top-tier journals and over 190 papers in international conferences on Microgrids research. His key contributions are based on control, operation, energy management, and deployment of AC–DC Microgrids and Energy Internet. He has been referenced over 14,681 times, and some of his articles have been cited more than 200 times, making a huge impact and acquiring high visibility in Microgrid and smart-grid research communities. Thanks to these achievements, he was recognized by Clarivate Analytics as a Highly Cited Researcher in 2017 and 2018. In 2016, Dr. Vasquez was selected among 18 AAU researchers to receive funding through an exclusive young talent management program, established as part of the initiative “Knowledge for the World”, for his project “The Energy Internet—Integrating Internet of Things into the Smart Grid”. Professor Vasquez is responsible of the AC Microgrid laboratory, the DC Microgrid Laboratory, and a newly established IoT Demonstration Microgrid Laboratory at the Department of Energy Technology, AAU. These proof-ofconcept laboratories constitute the basis for research and teaching inspired by Project-Based Learning (PBL) in the microgrids area, recognized worldwide.

Please join us in congratulating Professor Juan C. Vasquez for a well-deserved prize.

The Electronics Editorial Board and Editorial Team would like to gratefully acknowledge the time and energy given by reviewers in checking manuscripts submitted to Electronics. It is due to their efforts that the high quality of the journal and quick turnaround is maintained.

Dear Colleagues,

As Editor-in-Chief of Electronics, I am pleased to announce the two winners of the 2018 Travel Awards sponsored by Electronics.

The awards were granted to Mr. Spyridon-Nektarios Daskalakis, Ph.D. students of Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh UK, and Dr. Yao-Feng Chang, a postdoctoral fellow at The University of Texas at Austin, USA. The awards consist of 800 Swiss Francs each to support attendance at any academic conference in 2018.

Mr. Spyridon-Nektarios Daskalakis’s current research interests include low-cost wireless sensor networks and RF energy harvesting. In particular, he focuses on backscatter radio communication, batteryless sensors, PCB design, low-cost software-defined radio, environmental sensing and RF energy harvesting.

Dr. Yao-Feng Chang focuses on three topics: (1) SiOx- and SiNx-based ReRAM fabrication, characterization, and mechanism understanding. (2) Stateful Boolean logic and synaptic Post-Moore computing, and bio-inspiration biomimetic systems in electronic devices. (3) Selector integration for large-scale low-power array design.

Electronics is proud to support these young researchers working in the field of electronics and wish them further success in their careers. We are grateful to all who submitted applications—thank you for letting us get to know you and your work. We hope all of you continue to pay attention to Electronics in the future.
