2023 IEEE AP-S Field Awardees - Highlights of their research published in TAP
Each year the AP-S recognizes individuals or groups of individuals who have made an impact on technology or the society in distinct ways. The Field Awards recognize distinguished contributions based upon technical achievements and/or excellence in education and teaching. This year, two of the awardees (Filiberto Bilotti and Asimina Kiourti) are current members of TAP’s Editorial Board. We take the opportunity to celebrate the 2023 Field Awards by highlighting important research published in TAP by the awardees.
