LOGAN – Each year the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (or IEEE) confers the grade of Fellow to one-tenth of one percent of the organization’s 460,000 members.

The grade of Fellow is conferred on IEEE members with extraordinary records of accomplishments in the technical fields.

A Utah State University professor since 2012, Regan Zane, is among the newly-elected IEEE Fellows. It is the highest grade of IEEE membership and an important career achievement. He is a member of the IEEE Power Electronics Society and is one of seven members of that group elevated to Fellow.






Since joining USU in 2012, Regan Zane has led an extraordinary research program and secured more than $180 million in sponsored research funding.




Lisa Berreau, USU vice president of research, said Dr. Zane has built an outstanding research enterprise in modular power conversion involving deep engagement with researchers across the country.

He is the founding director of USU’s Center for Advancing Sustainability through Powered Infrastructure for Roadway Electrification, which is known as ASPIRE. In 13 years at USU he has secured more than $180 million in sponsored research funding.

He said the new designation from IEEE is a direct reflection of the quality of his students over the past 25 years.
