Thirty-seven years into his professorship at 黄色直播, Dr. Mohamed (Mo) El-Hawary of the Electrical Engineering Department is still earning new accolades.
Dr. El-Hawary was named one of the recipients of the 2017 International Electrotechnical Commission鈥檚 1906 Award. The 1906 Award recognizes the contributions of experts worldwide whose work on a project or activity substantially contributes to the cause of achieving international standardization. Dr. El-Hawary is part of the largest single class of Canadians to receive the award in a single year (for 2017, eight experts nationwide received this honour, out of 184 global honorees).
Dr. El-Hawary was recognized for contributions and long-standing leadership in the development of international standards in wave, tidal, and other water current converters for marine energy generation: a vital contribution in the effort to achieve sustainability in global energy production.
In particular, Dr. El-Hawary鈥檚 efforts focus on two standards: PT 626000-30, for which he serves as co-project leader, and MT 62600-1, for which he serves as co-convenor. Through these two roles, Dr. El-Hawary has acted as a champion for international efforts to establish global standards for both the power quality of marine energy generation efforts and the terminology used to communicate among practitioners in the field.
