David D. Shipp

Reza Zoughi

For contributions to the design, analysis and protection
of electrical power systems and personnel in industrial
and commercial applications

For contributions to microwave and millimeter wave
measurement techniques for nondestructive testing
and evaluation

David D. Shipp has worked at the forefront of power technology for
38 years, contributing important solutions in areas ranging from
power systems analysis to grounding to arc flash solutions and
safety measures. Mr. Shipp's arc flash studies resulted in mitigation
methods and solutions that have saved lives and reduced injury and
risk to maintenance personnel across all industries. He was also instrumental in determining why massive internal ground fault
damage was occurring in industrial generators. He led a team that
determined the accepted ground current standard at that time was
too high. They developed the Hybrid High Resistance Grounding
system to automatically switch the generator ground fault level to a
lower level when a fault was detected, which greatly reduced
damage to the generator. His team's work resulted in revisions to
the American National Standards Institute/IEEE generator
standards. Recent work focused on solving switching transient
induced failures in transformers and motors. An IEEE Fellow, Mr.
Shipp is a principal engineer with Eaton Electrical, Warrendale, Pa.

Reza Zoughi's efforts during the past two decades in expanding the
utility of microwave and millimeter wave inspection techniques has
brought significant recognition to the field of Nondestructive
Testing and Evaluation (NDT&E). Dr. Zoughi's research team has
developed millimeter wave imaging systems and methods for inspecting the spray-on foam insulation (SOFI) of the space shuttle's
external fuel tank, in addition to a real-time, high-resolution and
portable microwave camera that is expected to find widespread
utility. He has played a leading role in developing near-field
microwave and millimeter wave techniques and developed nearfield measurement systems using open-ended waveguide and
other more sophisticated probes for evaluating a host of defects in
thin and thick and layered composite structures. An IEEE Fellow and
a Fellow of the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT),
Dr. Zoughi is currently the Schlumberger Distinguished Professor of
Electrical and Computer Engineering at Missouri University of
Science and Technology (Missouri S&T), Rolla.

Thomas J. Richardson and Rüdiger Urbanke
For developing the theory and practice of transmitting data reliably at rates
approaching channel capacity
Theory successfully addressed the obstacles facing the development of capacity-approaching codes. Their work showed
that LDPC codes could very closely approach the Shannon
limit, showed how to design irregular LDPC codes and
provided methods for efficiently encoding LDPC codes. They
introduced the density evolution technique, on which practically all subsequent work on LDPC codes is based. An IEEE
Fellow, Dr. Richardson is currently vice president of engineering at Qualcomm Inc., Bridgewater, N.J. Dr. Urbanke is
currently a professor with the Communications and Computer
Sciences Department at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de
Lausanne, Switzerland.

Considered the world's foremost experts on iterative decoding,
Thomas J. Richardson and Rüdiger Urbanke have helped
optimize data transmission rates for wireless and optical communications and digital information storage. To approach
"Shannon's limit," which established the maximum rate for
communications over a noisy channel, they expanded on low
density parity check (LDPC) codes and provided new tools for
understanding the complexities of iterative decoding procedures. The result has been reliable data transmission at rates
close to channel capacity but with low complexities. Three
landmark papers by Drs. Richardson and Urbanke appearing in
the February 2001 issue of the IEEE Transactions on Information
