Doug Zuckerman (Telcordia, USA)

 

 

 

 

 


Douglas N. Zuckerman received his B.S., M.S. and Eng.Sc.D degrees in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University in 1969, 1971 and 1976, and is an IEEE Fellow. His over 37 years of experience, mainly at Bell Labs and Telcordia Technologies, span the operations, management and engineering of emerging networks and services. He is currently the IEEE Communications Society’s President-Elect.
 
His technical career included long-haul millimeter waveguide studies (before fiber), satellite systems engineering, maintenance engineering for the world’s first digital transmission networks, business services operations planning, and most recently IP-centric optical network interoperability. He was an early contributor to TMN standards and currently chairs the Optical Internetworking Forum’s OAM&P Working Group.

For over 22 years, Doug's leadership across ComSoc's technical committees, conferences, publications, chapters and Society governance has maintained focus on member interests worldwide, especially making relevant technical information widely and quickly available on line and in conferences, and encouraging more member interaction in the technical committees. He co-founded technical committees on Network Operations & Management and Enterprise Networking, as well as the IEEE Network Operations & Management Symposium (NOMS).

His sustained contributions were recognized through the Salah Aidarous Memorial Award, the Society's Donald McLellan Meritorious Service Award, its Conference Achievement Award and the IEEE Third Millennium Medal.
