Chris Huntley has been elevated to IEEE Fellow “for contributions to telecommunication and timing systems in electric power utilities.”
He is P.Eng. and received his M.A.Sc. in Engineering Physics from the University of British Columbia, in 1960. After a two-year Athlone Fellowship in the United Kingdom and a Diploma in Electrical Engineering from Imperial College, Chris joined the R&D group of GTE Lenkurt Electric in Burnaby, BC. There he designed both analog and digital FDM and SONET multiplexer products, including teleprotection interfaces (DTT, HCB, IEEE C37.94) under a variety of owners, from GTE and BC Tel through Nortel and GE. In 2007, he started a communications development group for Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. (SEL) in Burnaby, BC.
He was a senior member of IEEE (where he was a co-founder of the globally used IEEE C37.94) and is also active in IEC and CIGRE. He also holds 12 patents on communications circuit technologies.
