I would like to express my pleasure to serve as the Representative
of IEICE in Korea, one of IEICE Overseas Area Representatives. The IEICE is a
very successful professional society. It holds many conferences and technical
meetings and issues high-quality periodical publications which has already attracted
many articles from international authors. I am glad that the IEICE is strongly
promoting the Overseas Area Representatives Program. I understand that one mission
of the overseas area representative is to act as a bridge between the members
of IEICE and the engineers, researchers, and scholars in related area of Korea
through academic meetings. I think, more importantly, through such meetings, IEICE's
activities will be publicized and hopefully more members can not only be recruited.,
but the continued cooperative relationship between many countries in Asia area
will be further strengthened in the many years to come. |

I am glad to find that Korea is an important IEICE overseas area in terms of the
number of members as well as the number of articles published in the Institutes
English Transactions. Having more lecture meetings or workshops would help publicize
these facts and let the general attendants get familiar with the IEICE activities.
In fact, electronics, computers, and telecommunications industries are key industries
in Korea, and Daegu and Gyeongbuk which is located our university are a core area
of these industries. In addition, there are lots of electronics and computer companies
within the Gu-Mi Electronic Industrial Complex.
Therefore they are always in need of engineers in these areas. All major universities
in these areas now have established College of Electrical Engineering and Computer
Science. Its research activities cover almost the complete spectrum in EE and
CS. Thus, an ideal place to hold IEICE lecture meetings is on the Yeungnam University
or Kyeongbuk National University campus. Nearby, there are a few national universities,
and other private universities. Lectures given by renowned scholars from Japan
will not only offer opportunities for exchange of ideas with local scholars but
also be beneficial to many students.
During this year, I plan to organize two lecture meetings and invite two or three
distinguished scholars from Japan to offer seminars in different areas, such as
MEMS/NANO technologies, VLSI systems , and Bio-electronic technologies so that
IEICE activities could reach researchers, engineers, and students of different
fields. I will think about how to publicize the IEICE organization in domestic
conferences and symposia in Korea. I will also try to contact IEICE members in
Korea to obtain their opinions on how to promote IEICE activities.
Finally, I briefly introduce myself. I am currently a Professor at Yeungnam University
in Korea. I am affiliated with the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer
Science. I worked as an Associate Professor at Toyohashi University of Technology,
Japan for two years from 1992.
My research interests include micro-systems, biotelemetry system, and bioelectronics.
