Dr. Arun Phadke is a University Distinguished Professor emeritus in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Virginia Tech.[1]

Biography

Dr. Phadke received his Bachelor of Sciences degree from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur,[2] his Masters from the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, and his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin, Madison (1964). After working in the electric power industry at Allis-Chalmers[3] and American Electric Power,[4] Dr. Phadke took up a faculty position at Virginia Tech.

Selected Awards and Recognition

1980: IEEE Fellow, for "contributions to the application of digital computers to power systems."
1993: Elected to National Academy of Engineering, for "contributions to the field of digital control, protection, and monitoring of power electrical systems."
2007: Eta Kappa Nu's Vladimir Karapetkoff Award for career accomplishment. Phadke and his colleague, Stanley H. Horowitz, received the award for their technical contributions to the field of power system protection and control.[5]
2008: Along with James Thorp, head of the Bradley Department of Electrical Engineering at Virginia Tech, Phadke received The Franklin Institute's 2008 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Electrical Engineering[6] for their contributions to the power industry, particularly microprocessor controllers in electric power systems that have significantly decreased the occurrence and duration of power blackouts.[7]
2016: IEEE Medal in Power Engineering, for "contributions to radar signal design and analysis, pulse compression, and signal processing."
