Her Royal Highness, the Royal Princess Anne and IEEE President and CEO Saifur Rahman presented the IEEE/RSE James Clerk Maxwell Medal to the recipients of the years 2019, 2022 and 2023 in a ceremony in the Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE). “This award symbolizes the profound impact of electronics and electrical engineering innovation upon society,” remarked President Rahman. “The partnership between IEEE and RSE continues to serve as a catalyst for global collaboration and knowledge exchange, and we are honoured to join Her Royal Highness, the Princess Royal and RSE in acknowledging those exceptional individuals who embody that legacy with their unwavering commitment to improving the human experience through technology.

Last year (2022) Ingo Wolff received recognition for his “development of numerical electromagnetic field analysis techniques to design advanced mobile and satellite communication systems.”

The RSE Royal Medals were instituted in 2000 by Queen Elizabeth II. They are awarded annually to individuals who have achieved distinction and are of international repute in life, physical, engineering and informatic sciences, arts, humanities and social sciences and business, public service and public engagement.
