Stanford faculty members Juan G. Santiago, Terry Winograd, and H.-S. Philip Wong have been newly elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). This honor is among the highest professional distinctions accorded to engineers and recognizes accomplished experts from business, academia, and government.

“Induction into the National Academy of Engineering is both a distinguished career milestone and a call to service,” said NAE President Tsu-Jae Liu in a statement. “These accomplished engineers join a community dedicated to advancing the nation’s well-being and promoting public understanding and appreciation of engineering.”

Santiago, Winograd, and Wong are among the 130 researchers nominated and chosen this year by their peers to join the academy, which is tasked with offering objective analysis and advice to the nation.

Juan G. Santiago is the Charles Lee Powell Foundation Professor and a professor of mechanical engineering in the School of Engineering. Santiago was recognized for “advancing micro-scale transport and applications of microfluidic systems.” He is also a member of Stanford Bio-X and the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance, and a faculty fellow of Sarafan ChEM-H.

Terry Winograd is a professor emeritus of computer science in the School of Engineering. Winograd was honored for “contributions in symbolic artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction.” Winograd is also a faculty affiliate of the Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI)

H.-S. Philip Wong is the Willard R. and Inez Kerr Bell Professor and a professor of electrical engineering in the School of Engineering. Wong was elected to the academy for “contributions to nanoscale semiconductor device technology.” He is also a member of Bio-X and the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute, and an affiliate of the Precourt Institute for Energy.
