2023 Member-at-Large - Latin America/North America Region Candidate

Position Statement

With a track-record of 20+ years of service with the IEEE, with a rich experience at various levels (student, member, TC member, TC leadership, and TEA-C and TCB, and numerous committees), I have demonstrated a deep understanding of ComSoc services/issues and members benefits/concerns, a strong leadership and a strong execution and problem-solving ability, and honesty, integrity, and professionalism in IEEE services. I have strived to promote new technologies and contribute to ComSoc’s key technical areas, offer lectures to IEEE local chapters (23 chapters so far), conference tutorials (IEEE CVPR 2022 and 2020, ICC’2022, etc.), and at IEEE summer schools. My Google Scholar citation number is 21,956 and H-index is 71 to date. 

If elected as ComSoc MaL, I will be dedicated to volunteering for IEEE and ComSoc service at all levels, to better serve ComSoc members and make ComSoc better as a home for professionals in the area of communications.
