HARNATHA (HARI) C. REDDY (Nominated by Division
I)
Professor, California State University – Long Beach (CSULB)
Long Beach, California
Position Statement:
I am very honored to be nominated for the position of Division-1 Director-Elect/Director. I am grateful that over the past 30 years, the IEEE has become an integrating force behind my professional career.
The Societies/Councils in Division-I possess proud history, cover true fundamentals and promote new technologies that define today's IEEE. It indeed is the #1 Division! If elected, I would strive to maintain this tradition by utilizing the complementary strengths within our division’s Societies and Councils. As 2001 President of the Circuits and Systems (CAS) Society, I worked with Presidents of sister Societies, promoting joint conferences and publications (e.g., the first IEEE Nano Conference; Transactions on Mobile Computing). If elected, I will pursue with the same philosophy and dedication to initiate and promote:
• A new "IEEE Division-1 International Conference on Circuits and Devices”, based on successful CAS Emerging Technology Workshops;
• Promote joint special issues of Transactions, highlighting new technologies and their impact on education;
• Member professional development through joint Chapters, Distinguished Lecturer Program; and further, encourage Societies and Councils to develop benchmark publications and educational packages on emerging topics.
• Develop "E-Newsletter," bringing timely information to Division membership; and importantly,
• Represent the Division's interests to the IEEE Board of Directors and TAB.
I would be honored to work with you in this mission and respectfully request your support and vote.
