Position Statement

I have been an active IEEE and Computer Society (CS) volunteer for nearly 30 years, serving in leadership positions such as  2022-2023 IEEE Director (Division V), 2019 CS President, Editor-in-Chief, General/Program Chair of highly reviewed international conferences, and member of several IEEE key committees. My involvement has contributed to form a deep understanding and unique vision of the challenges and opportunities facing the IEEE, as reflected by my many successful activities.

2) Devise innovative organizational and fiscal models, to reduce membership dues' dependency while improving products and services;

3) Promote members’ professional growth, by introducing innovative activities beyond all boundaries on timely technical directions;

4) Preserve technical distinction in all activities;

5) Experiment innovative and immersive meeting/communication media to facilitate interactions.

In conclusion, I will devote all my energy and expertise to ensure the successful fulfilment of IEEE towards its members and professional mission to new heights.
