Palais is a Life Fellow of the IEEE, elected for contributions to university and continuing education, primarily in the area of fiber optical communications.In 1999 he was presented the Conferences and Professional Programs (CaPP) Faculty Service Award from the University Continuing Education Association, Washington, 1999.
In recognition of his contributions to continuous education (particularly in the area of fiber optics), he received the IEEE Educational Activities Board Meritorious Achievement Award in Continuing Education in 1993. Dr. Palais was presented the IEEE Phoenix Section 1974 Annual Achievement Award for Contributions to Education, Academic and Industrial Research, and IEEE Technical Activities.
In 2007, Professor Palais was presented the Daniel Jankowski Legacy Award by the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering.
Palais is a Professor in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering (ECEE) at Arizona State University (ASU) where he has been teaching since 1964. He is the ECEE Graduate Program Chair.
Prior to his work at ASU, Palais worked as a Microwave Engineer for Motorola and for Stanford Research Institute. In 1973 he served as a Visiting Associate Professor at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology.
Professor Palais, longtime graduate program chair, and his wife Sandra, established the Palais Outstanding Doctoral Student Award. This award is presented annually to the best graduating doctoral student in the electrical engineering program.
Palais has been a consultant to several firms, including Sperry Flight Systems, Sylvania, and Polaroid. In 1967, Palais was awarded a Ford Foundation Residency in Engineering Practice. As part of the award he spent a year with Sylvania’s Electro-Optics Organization. In 1973 he served as a Visiting Associate Professor at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology.
