President's Corn er

Rakesh Kumar

Two Years of Society Accomplishments

I

It is difficult to imagine that two
years have gone by. As my term as
president comes to an end, this is
my last column for the "President's
Corner." I am feeling good about
our accomplishments over the past
years due to efforts of the IEEE
Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS)
leadership team, our volunteers,
and the staff. I express my sincere
appreciation to our wonderful team.
I believe we have enhanced value
to our members and have begun to
get the word out about the Society,
resulting in more members. Another
accomplishment is that we have ten
new Chapters. I just helped inaugurate the first IEEE SSCS Chapter in
Indonesia at the first International
Conference on Electronics and International Development. As the fourth
largest populace, Indonesia has many
opportunities to expand its presence
in the field of microelectronics.

There was also renewed interest
in SSCS at the ASICON 2013 in Shenzen, China. The Chapter Chairs
meeting in Bucharest in September
demonstrated excitement among
our volunteers, and numerous new
ideas for active participation in Society activities emerged.

Many initiatives
launched during
the past two years
(including some from
Prof. Boser's term) are
beginning to bear fruit.
During the past two years we had
six Distinguished Lecturer tours-
in India, China, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Poland, South Africa, and South America. Webinars have been launched,
and there is much enthusiasm about
the educational material being made
available online. Revisions to the SSCS
Web site have had positive feedback.
The Women in Engineering effort has

IEEE SOLID-STATE CIRCUITS MAGAZINE	

been launched under the leadership
of Wanda Gass.
Our publications and conferences
continue to be strong. The IEEE RFIC
Virtual Journal has been launched,
and the IEEE Journal on Exploratory
Computational Devices and Circuits
has been approved for launch in 2014.
The Student Travel Grant Awards
continue to be popular, and they are
being expanded to other conferences
in addition to ISSCC. The SSCS member discount was quite popular at
ISSCC 2013.
The student member drive spearheaded by the incoming President
Bill Bidermann and SSCS Executive
Director Mike Kelly has been very
popular. We are especially happy that
nearly 50% of the new student members were female.
It has been a pleasure and an honor
to serve as president, and I wish all
SSCS members and volunteers around
the world the very best in the years
to come.
