Major IEEE Accomplishments

  1. During my tenure as Chair of IEEE Princeton/Central Jersey Section, I established four new chapters: Education Society, Women in Engineering, Signaling and Circuits Society, Broadcasting Technology Society and established the sister section agreement between Princeton/Central Jersey Section and Bangalore Section that strengthened the cooperation and collaboration between Region 1 and Region 10.
  2. As the Industry Relation Chair for Region 1 and MGA, I led the efforts in strengthening the relationship between IEEE and Industry by organizing Industry Days (www.ieee-industry.org) at different locations within Regions 1 and 10.
  3. I helped establish 7 STEM clubs at various NJ high schools, helped to implement an EPICS-HIGH project, and served as the General co-chair of the IEEE Integrated STEM conference (http://ewh.ieee.org/conf/stem/) for 6 years after helping to co-establish the conference, in 2011.
  4. As the IEEE Communications Society Director of Industry Outreach, I created a framework for industry engagement and led a series of highly successful high impact 5G Summits (www.ieee-5gsummit.org) at various locations across the globe.

Statement

 

Communication Society should play a pivotal role in empowering its members so they can contribute towards the advancement of technology for humanity by way of invention, innovation, and humanitarian service. I will utilize my industry and academic experience and my IEEE leadership, pre-university, and industry liaison activities to promote ComSoc’s goals and objectives.

 

If elected, I will work with fellow colleagues and volunteers across the world to develop the following core areas:

 

·         Engage and empower IEEE members at the grass root level so that they can contribute their best towards the advancement of humanity.

·         Enhance IEEE-Industry relationship that will help drive both the society’s membership growth as well as professional growth of Industry members.

·         Encourage professional development initiatives through ComSoc’s education and training programs through webinars and online courses taught by industry and academia experts. 

·         Expand on standards activities for rapid deployment of emerging technologies such as 5G, SDN/NFV, Cybersecurity, 5G and IOT.

·         Extend ComSoc’s collaboration with IEEE entities such as MGA, EAB, and TAB to deliver excellence by way of member engagement and enrichment.
