\u201cI am honoured to be invested to the Order of Canada,\u201d said Wu. \u201cI am very glad that our work and achievements have been recognized. The team not only includes my colleagues at Communications Research Centre Canada \u2014 it also includes the faculty members, postdoctorates and graduate students from the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering<\/a> at Carleton. Over the years, we worked on many highly productive collaborative research projects. I am looking forward to further extending these successful collaborations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interim Dean Fred Afagh at Carleton\u2019s research-intensive Faculty of Engineering and Design<\/a> said he\u2019s thrilled for Wu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Carleton community is extremely proud of longtime adjunct research professor and Carleton alumnus, Yiyan Wu,\u201d said Afagh. \u201cWu\u2019s appointment to the Order of Canada recognizes his outstanding work in the development of current and next-generation digital broadcast technology and a storied career in multimedia communications systems engineering.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to his research and teaching, Wu is a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering and a Fellow of the IEEE, as well as the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Broadcasting<\/a>. He received both his Master\u2019s in Engineering and PhD in Electrical Engineering from Carleton University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI remember those good old days spent at Carleton as a student,\u201d said Wu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Established in 1967 by Queen Elizabeth, the Order of Canada is the pillar of the Canadian honours system<\/a>. Becoming a member recognizes outstanding contributions at the local or regional level or in a special field of activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
