Books and articles

He has published 420 journal and conference papers, authored or co-authored three books, including the pioneering neural networks text "Introduction to Artificial Neural Systems" (1992), and co-edited a number of volumes in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science. His research contributions cover neural networks, deep learning, data mining with emphasis on data and feature understanding, rule extraction from semantic and visual information, machine learning, decomposition methods for salient feature extraction, and lambda learning rule for neural networks. His work was cited over 11,700 times (Google Scholar, 2018).

He was the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks (1998–2003), an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems, Pt. I and Pt. II, Action Editor in Neural Networks (Elsevier) and served on the Editorial Board of the Proceedings of the IEEE. He is an Associate Editor of Neurocomputing (Elsevier),[1] Schedae Informaticae,[2] the International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science,[3] and Editor of the Springer Natural Computing[4] Book series.

Professional service

Zurada has served the engineering profession as a long-time volunteer of IEEE: as 2014 IEEE Vice-President-Technical Activities (TAB Chair), as President of IEEE Computational Intelligence Society[5] in 2004–05 and the ADCOM member in 2009–14, 2016–18 and earlier years. He chaired the IEEE TAB Strategic Planning Committee in 2015, IEEE TAB Periodicals Review and Advisory Committee in 2012–13, and the IEEE TAB Periodicals Committee in 2010–11. In 2011 he was Vice-Chair of PSP Board and a member of PSP Board Strategic Planning Committee in 2010–11.

Campaigns for IEEE President-elect

In 2016 and again in 2017 Zurada was nominated by the IEEE Board of Directors to be a candidate for IEEE President-elect in the subsequent IEEE Annual Election. However, he was not elected by the IEEE voting membership. In 2017 he received 12,789 votes.[6] The winner, José M. F. Moura , received 18,883 voted (a third candidate, Vincenzo Piuri, received 13,976 votes). In 2018 he received 15,378 votes.[7] The winner, Toshio Fukuda, received 20,865 (Vincenzo Piuri received 12,993 votes).

Awards and honours

He has received a number of awards for distinction in research, teaching, and service including the 1993 UofL's Presidential Award for Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity, 1999 IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Golden Jubilee Medal, and the 2001 and 2014 UofL's Presidential Distinguished Service Awards for Service to the Profession. In 2013 he received the Joe Desch Innovation Award. His IEEE Distinguished Speaker contributions include IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (2012–15), and IEEE SMC Society (2016–17). He also served as a Fulbright Specialist in Bulgaria (2010) and Italy (2012).

In 2003 he was conferred the Title of National Professor by the President of Poland. He received five Honorary Professorships from foreign universities, including Sichuan University in Chengdu, China, and Obuda University in Budapest, Hungary. Since 2005 he has been an elected Foreign Member of the Polish Academy of Sciences.

gollark: For now, I'm hooking it up to a random online email service, but this is not optimal.
gollark: The apioforum may need to transmit email.
gollark: <@231856503756161025> How easy would it be to set up just outbound email?
gollark: Yes, it would be possible to link to and from that.
gollark: No.
