Curriculum
Vitae Lotfi A. Zadeh Lotfi A. Zadeh joined the Department of Electrical Engineering at
the Until 1965,
Dr. Zadeh's work had been centered on system theory
and decision analysis. His 1965 paper on fuzzy sets has received over 26,000
Google Scholar citations and is by far the highest cited paper in Information
and Control. Since 1965, his research interests have shifted to the theory of
fuzzy sets and its applications to artificial intelligence, linguistics,
logic, decision analysis, control theory, expert systems and neural networks.
Currently, his research is focused on fuzzy logic, soft computing, computing
with words, and the newly developed computational theory of perceptions and precisiated natural language. An alumnus of
the In 1992, Dr. Zadeh was awarded the IEEE Richard W. Hamming Medal
"For seminal contributions to information science and systems, including
the conceptualization of fuzzy sets." He became a Foreign Member of the In 1993, Dr. Zadeh received the Rufus Oldenburger

Institution, Budapest, Hungary. Also in 2004, he was awarded the V. Kaufmann
Prize by the International Association for Fuzzy-Set Management and Economy
(SIGEF). In 2005, Dr. Zadeh was elected as a
foreign member of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Korea Academy of Science
& Technology and Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. He was also awarded the Nicolaus Copernicus Medal of the Polish Academy of
Sciences and the J. Keith Brimacombe IPMM Award. In
2006, he was elected as a foreign member of the National Academy of Sciences
of Azerbaijan and was awarded the Pioneer Award for Outstanding Contributions
to Soft Computing, Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia and the Silicon
Valley Engineering Hall of Fame. In 2007, he was awarded the Egleston Medal, Columbia University, New York and became
a member of the International Academy of Systems Studies (IASS). In 2009, he
was awarded the Franklin Institute Medal, Philadelphia. In 2011, he was
awarded the Medal of the Foundation by the Trust of the Foundation for the
Advancement of Soft Computing, Spain, the High State Award ‘Friendship
Order’, from the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Transdisciplinary Award and Medal of the Society for
