This reported was prepared, primarily by Professor Joshua Le-Wei Li (the immediately
past IEICE Singapore Section representative, from National University of Singapore)
and jointly by Professor Lei Zhu (the new IEICE Singapore Section representative,
from Nanyang Technological University).
In the Year 2007, the IEICE Singapore Section has organized two series of the
seminars for IEICE members in Singapore and Malaysia, namely, the following two
series:
 (1) Communications
Series: Antennas & Propagation, and
(2) Nanoscience
and Nanotechnology Series.
The first seminar series, i.e., Communications
Series: Antennas & Propagation, was held in Orchard
Hotel, Singapore, at 9:00 pm - 11:00 am, November 2, 2006. In the first
series, two IEICE Distinguished Lectures were organized in conjunction with the
2006 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP'06) in Singapore.
The first IEICE Distinguished Lecture was entitled as Innovative Antennas and
Propagation Studies for MIMO Systems and it was delivered by Professor Yoshio
Karasawa from Advanced Wireless Communication research Center (AWCC), the University
of Electro-Communications, Chofugaoka, Chofu-shi, Tokyo 182-855, Japan. The second
IEICE Distinguished Lecture was entitled as R&D Progress in Wireless Communications
in China: A Review on Chinese High-tech R&D Programs for Wireless Technology
and it was delivered by Professor Ke Gong from Tsinghua National Laboratory for
Information Science and Technology, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China.
Both of the speakers are also considered as the Keynote Speakers at the ISAP'06
in Singapore. They shared their professional experiences with, and also reported
to, the audience on the latest developments of their areas of interests.

The second seminar series, Applied Nanoscience
and Nanotechnology Series, was conducted at NUS Engineering Auditorium, Singapore
at 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm, December 8, 2006. The IEICE Distinguished Lecture
speaker was Professor Din Ping Tsai from Center of Nanostorage Research and Department
of Physics, National Taiwan University, Taipei 10617, Taiwan; Research Center
for Applied Sciences, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan.
Prof. Din Ping Tsai's talk is entitled as "Optical Nano
Recording and Imaging by Plasmonic Nano Structures". The seminar addressed
some of most recent technical progresses, and potential impact in the future,
on nanotechnologies using plasmonic nano structures for future science and technology.
The speaker is an international expert widely recognized and he shared with the
IEICE members on his professional and technical experiences to make progress for
future perspectives in this area.
