  • Further excellence of ComSoc’s leadership in emerging communications and networking technology by enhancing its technical activities and educational services;
  • Empower technical committees to meet the needs of academics, engineers, practitioners, scientists, students, by creating new values and implementing new initiatives;
  • Promote industry participation by broadening and strengthening the linkages to industry through new collaborative programs while also addressing the needs of the research community;
  • Help more junior researchers, engineers, and students from all continents by creating regional and local young professionals and students technical exchange platforms;
  • Enrich our members with more professional development and educational opportunities by offering online resources, training courses, webinars and tutorials, etc.

I believe my extensive work experience in ComSoc and dedication to member benefits have prepared me well to serve and promote the excellence of our community.
