2016 IEEE Canada WIE Prize - Elena Uchiteleva, IEEE London Section
Elena Uchiteleva of the IEEE London Section was presented with the IEEE Canada Foundation's Women in Engineering (WIE) Prize in the amount of $1,000 at the IEEE Canada Spring Board Meeting in Windsor on April 28, 2017. The purpose of this prize is to recognize excellence in young women engineering professionals and to support the Women In Engineering programme within IEEE in Canada. The prize is sponsored by the Judy Clift Fund which was established to honour Ms. Clift, a special education teacher and administrator, who believed strongly in gender equality.
Elena Uchiteleva received B.Sc. Degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the Israel Institute of Technology, Technion, in Haifa, Israel, in 2010, and M.E.Sc. Degree in Electrical Engineering, Wireless Communications, from Western University in London, Ontario, in 2013. She is presently a third-year Ph.D. student and Graduate Research Assistant at Western University in Electrical Engineering. She is working on Security in ZigBee Wireless Sensor Networks and is expected to graduate in 2018. She has published several papers in IEEE and other journals and presented her research work at international conferences. Her recent paper "Virtualization of Wireless Sensor Networks through MAC Layer Resource Scheduling" was published in the IEEE Sensors Journal in Dec. 2016. For her work, Elena received several honors and awards, e.g. Doctoral Excellence Research Award, UWO, in 2016, and NSERC Postgraduate Scholarships-Doctoral (PGS D) Award in 2015.
In addition to her professional work, Elena has been very active in IEEE. She was key to the growth of the IEEE London Section's WIE Affinity Group and chaired it in 2014-2015. In recognition of her achievements, she was promoted and serves as the IEEE Canada WIE Chair since Jan. 2016. In 2017, she was appointed IEEE Canada Member Services Group Chair, an IEEE Canada Board and Executive Committee role. Elena was also recently granted the prestigious Canadian Engineering Memorial Foundation (CEMF) Claudette MacKay-Lassonde Graduate Engineering Ambassador Award for 2017.
Congratulations Elena!
