Edward Tunstel, a robotics engineer in the Space Department of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Md., has been named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
The honor IEEE's highest level of membership comes for Tunstel's robotics work on planetary missions. Tunstel joined APL in 2007 after 18 years at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where he developed autonomous control and navigation algorithms, software and systems for robotics research and spaceflight projects including the Mars Exploration Rovers, on which he served as a flight systems engineer for autonomous rover navigation and was the mobility and robotic arm subsystem lead for surface mission operations.
Tunstel has written more than 130 refereed journal articles, book chapters and conference publications, co-edited several technology books, and serves as associate editor of several engineering journals. He earned a doctorate in electrical engineering from the University of New Mexico and bachelor's and master's degrees in mechanical engineering from Howard University. He is a vice president for the IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society and a member of American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics.
The IEEE is the world's leading professional association for advancing technology for humanity. Through its 385,000 members in 160 countries, the association 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.
