| Feb 1, 2014 at 22:09 | comment | added | Christian | @JeffE: Wearing a tie also doesn't require any technical qualification. It's still a signal. Having a AOL email address is also a signal. If you compare [email protected] to [email protected], the ieee address says: "Hey, I'm a member of a professional organisation but you can approach me informally." Depending on the academic subculture in which you are moving that might or might not be something you want to communicate. On the other hand if I would see an email address [email protected] that would indicate lack of professionalism. | |

| Feb 1, 2014 at 17:19 | comment | added | SddS | @JeffE, yes IEEE membership doesn't require professional qualification (irrelevant) but IEEE is a professional community. In this regard, sth like f.Lastname or Lastname might seems normal as Christian said. | |

| Jan 29, 2014 at 15:14 | comment | added | JeffE | The fact that you have an email address @ieee already signals some professionalism. — [citation needed] Membership in IEEE does not require any professional qualification; it only requires paying IEEE dues. | |
| Jan 29, 2014 at 15:13 | comment | added | JeffE | It's a bit like wearing a suit and a tie. — Precisely. And in some academic subcultures, wearing a suit and tie instantly brands you as an outsider, or worse, an administrator. | |
