Letter from the Editor-in-Chief
Dr. Jason K. Hui
Epsilon Delta Chapter
Dear IEEE-HKN Members and Friends,
Happy New Year and welcome to the first issue of THE BRIDGE
for 2023! It is an honor and privilege to serve as the new Editor-inChief
of this award-winning magazine. Over the past three years, I
had the pleasure of serving on the IEEE-HKN Board of Governors
as Regions 1-2 Governor and am pleased about continuing my
affiliation with the society in this new role. I would like to express
my sincere appreciation to Dr. Sahra Sedigh Sarvestani and Dr.
Steve E. Watkins for their many years of dedication and leadership
as co-Editors-in-Chief and invaluable support from Stacey L. Bersani,
Assistant Managing Editor.
This issue features articles on the technology and applications of
Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) coordinated by guest editor, Dr.
Watkins. It also contains the 2022 Annual Report, highlighting IEEEHKN's
year in review on awards, inductions, activities, community
service hours, and chapters. Additionally, we look back at last
October's memorable Student Leadership Conference at UNC
Charlotte where participants gathered together for the first time in
several years to learn and network, celebrate Founders Day, and
recognize the accomplishments of our key chapters.
We have the pleasure of featuring several HKN colleagues who are
serving in the esteemed role of " president " : IEEE-HKN President
Sampathkumar Veeraraghavan, former IEEE-HKN President and
now ABET President Dr. S.K. Ramesh, and IEEE President and Chief
Executive Officer, Dr. Saifur Rahman.
IEEE-HKN strives for effective communication through its various
channels including our website, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn,
and this magazine. The Editorial Board welcomes your ideas and

always, THE BRIDGE is available on the IEEE App.
