This evening, I was awarded the 2020 IEEE Boston Section Distinguished Service Award, which honors an IEEE Boston Section member who has made exceptional and distinguished contributions to the Boston IEEE Section. I received this award "“for continuous and dedicated support of the section’s HPEC Conference and extraordinary effort virtualizing HPEC 2020 in response to the global pandemic”. I am very honored to receive this award, and I am thankful to all the support IEEE Boston Section has provided to make the IEEE HPEC conference a success!
