IEEE Accomplishments

As IEEE Communications Society treasurer I coordinated the process of establishing and managing a $16M budget for the society that ended each year with a surplus.

As a member of the IEEE Communications Society Standards Board I oversaw the creation of four new ComSoc sponsored IEEE standard working groups and developed a good understanding for how IEEE SA can work with new organizations to develop standards.

My participation in the IEEE Technical Activities Board Finance Committee has provided me visibility into the best practices, activities, and needs of other societies.

As IEEE Multimedia Communications Technical Committee chair, I grew the size and increased participation of the committee. This experience provided me a good understanding of IEEE’s core constituency — its technical folks. As committee chair I also worked with three other IEEE societies on a joint publication, IEEE Transactions on Multimedia, and the jointly sponsored conference, ICME — gaining more experience on the pros and cons of collaboration between organizations.

My role as president of the OSGi Alliance has given me a lot of experience in both standards (as an industry consortium) and running a board consisting of several large companies where compromises often must be made to reach consensus.

Statement

Coming from the commercial world, where I am the program manager for my company’s long-range research program, I understand the importance of fundamental technical research and the potential impact it can have if focused right. One of IEEE’s current struggles is how to remain relevant to the practicing engineer. If elected to the position of Division III Director, I will use my experience to support the needs of the practicing engineer while continuing to promote engineering research that enables and feeds advances in industry.

The importance of business relevance of technical work is becoming an increasingly predominant theme these days. I would like to foster closer interactions between the academic and industrial communities to identify sets of problems that are both technically interesting and challenging, but also address a specific business need. I would like to use my position as Division III Director to encourage not only ComSoc, but IEEE as a whole to sponsor activities that encourage these interactions on topics of interest to both communities.
