Peter Pupalaikis, who earned his Rutgers Engineering degree in electrical and computer engineering, was recently elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). Election to membership is one of the highest professional honors accorded an engineer. Members have distinguished themselves in business and academic management, in technical positions, as university faculty, and as leaders in government and private engineering organizations. Members are elected to NAE membership by their peers (current NAE members).
Pupalaikis’s NAE election is for his contributions to digital signal processing for test and measurement instruments. He is a founding member and director of signal integrity at Nubis Communications, which describes itself as “accelerating the transition to the next generation of optics” that will be “more dense, scalable, and lower power than existing solutions.” Prior to that, he served as Teledyne LeCroy’s vice president of technology development for 25 years. A successful inventor and writer, he has previously summarized his achievements this way: “I pioneered DSP and microwave techniques as applied to high bandwidth real-time digital oscilloscopes.” He is currently serving as a member of the School of Engineering’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Industry Advisory Board.
"Pete's election to the NAE reflects the determination, drive, leadership, and pioneering contributions to engineering that distinguish so many of our talented students and alumni," says Rutgers School of Engineering Dean Alberto Cuitiño. “We are very proud his achievements.”
