\"faculty<\/a>Dr. Shengli Zhou<\/span><\/a><\/span> (Electrical & Computer Engineering) was elected a Fellow of the IEEE (the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) in recognition of his \u201ccontributions to wireless and underwater acoustic communications.\u201d\u00a0 Dr. Zhou is co-director, with Dr. Jun-Hong Cui, of the Underwater Sensor Network<\/span><\/a><\/span> (UWSN) Lab at UConn and an expert in underwater acoustic communications and networking, multi-user and multi-carrier communications, space-time coding, adaptive modulation, and cross-layer designs for wireless systems.<\/p>\n

Dr. Zhou\u2019s focus lies on underwater communications and, in particular, acoustic signaling. Effective and reliable underwater communications are important for a myriad of applications, from environmental health sensing, weather sensing and commercial fisheries to energy and defense.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dr. Zhou explains that because radio does not work well underwater, acoustic signaling is the primary method for data communication. Underwater acoustic channels are viewed as among the most difficult channels in today\u2019s communication systems, and high data-rate communication methods such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) \u2013 which have made wireless Internet a reality \u2013 have been regarded as infeasible in challenging underwater acoustic channels.\u00a0 Dr. Zhou and his research group have solved this long-standing problem and demonstrated, for the first time that OFDM is in fact feasible within aquatic environments through the application of novel signal processing methods that overcome the non-uniform Doppler effects characteristic of water environments. This breakthrough has produced a wave of investigations of OFDM technologies in different underwater scenarios and helped to propel Dr. Zhou\u2019s research.<\/p>\n

The team founded a UConn spinoff, AquaSeNT<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>which launched commercial underwater OFDM modems in 2012.\u00a0 Read more about Dr. Zhou\u2019s research here<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

In 2007, Dr. Zhou was one of just 67 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers<\/span><\/a><\/span> (PECASE) award recipients, and that year he also received a prestigious Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Program (ONR YIP) award. The PECASE Awards are the nation\u2019s highest honor for professionals at the outset of their scientific research careers, and Dr. Zhou is the only UConn faculty member to receive the PECASE honor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the IEEE, the distinction of Fellow is reserved for select\u00a0members whose extraordinary accomplishments in\u00a0any of the IEEE fields of\u00a0interest are\u00a0deemed fitting of this prestigious grade elevation.\u00a0 The organization has approximately 400,000 members in 160 countries and is a leading authority on a wide variety of areas ranging from aerospace systems, computers and telecommunications to biomedical engineering, electric power and consumer electronics.<\/p>\n

The organization states that it publishes 30 percent of the world\u2019s literature in the electrical and electronics engineering and computer science fields, has developed more than 900 active industry standards, and sponsors or co-sponsors nearly 400 international technical conferences each year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Dr. Shengli Zhou was elected a Fellow of the IEEE (the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) in recognition of his “contributions to wireless and underwater acoustic communications.” Dr. Zhou is co-director, with Dr. Jun-Hong Cui, of the Underwater Sensor Networks Lab at UConn and an expert in underwater acoustic communications and networking, multi-user and multi-carrier communications, space-time coding, adaptive modulation, and cross-layer designs for wireless systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":122,"featured_media":224309,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_crdt_document":"","wds_primary_category":0,"wds_primary_series":0,"wds_primary_attribution":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1866],"tags":[],"magazine-issues":[],"coauthors":[43],"class_list":["post-17461","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-engr"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-01 19:49:38","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17461","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/users\/122"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17461"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17461\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":224316,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17461\/revisions\/224316"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/media\/224309"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17461"},{"taxonomy":"magazine-issue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/magazine-issues?post=17461"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/today.uconn.edu\/wp-rest\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=17461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
