The prestigious SRI Fellows Award celebrates individual innovators who are shaping our future.
SRI is pleased to announce that Timothy Rogne has been named its newest Fellow. Rogne, a principal research engineer in SRI’s Surveillance Systems Lab, is recognized for his world-leading expertise and contributions to the development of electro-optic and infrared sensing programs at the national defense level, as well as his contributions to SRI’s execution of major systems projects for customers.
The prestigious SRI Fellows Award honors outstanding individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to SRI’s mission of creating and delivering world-changing solutions for a safer, healthier, and more sustainable future. The Fellows selection committee evaluates nominees based on their exceptional technical contributions performed substantially at SRI, demonstrated impact on SRI’s mission and on society, and their role as workplace mentors and technical leaders. The chosen honorees are granted funding to pursue initiatives that advance SRI’s mission and their creative ambitions.
“This award underscores our commitment to technical brilliance and its power to transform lives,” said David Parekh, SRI CEO. “These are the innovators and problem-solvers whose work has elevated not just our organization, but society as a whole.”
Award recipients become members of the prestigious SRI Fellows Academy, a distinguished forum of the institute’s leading researchers. The Program serves as a vital intellectual resource and helps shape research vision by providing strategic insights on emerging challenges.
“Tim’s ability to develop and demonstrate novel results and take concepts to deliver operational hardware has been noted throughout his career by clients and collaborators,” said Ulf Lindqvist, Senior Technical Director of SRI’s Computer Science Lab and coordinator of the organization’s Fellow program. “His unique contributions have improved and empowered national capabilities for sensing, characterizing, and exploiting information measured at very long ranges from air and space. Tim’s work on national security will continue to have an impact for years to come.”
