AESS Historical Interview

Abstract

As members of the IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems Society (AESS), we read books and articles and attend presentations by legendary contributors to our field. However, only a few of us get to know those contributors personally. In order to give our members insight into the person behind those great contributions, the IEEE AESS is introducing AESS Historical Interviews. While these interviews will document historical events, the interviews are also intended to give readers (or viewers of the video) insights into the events and critical decisions that shaped their research and technical accomplishments. In order to better meet these objectives, the interviews will be conducted by AESS members rather than historians. Thus, you as a member of AESS may in the future conduct a historical interview or see a specific question that you would have like to ask the contributor.
