Hi, all,
We've been asked by the IEEE to identify technical experts within your
Committee who can speak to the media on various ?hot topics? around the
globe.
The remainder of this message is from the IEEE.
If you are interested in being considered for this opportunity, please
contact Xiaoming Fu <fu at cs.uni-goettingen.de> with information on your
background and areas of expertise from among the list below.
Thanks,
Joe

Some examples are:
? Sustainable energy: nuclear, wind, solar, green transportation,
biofuels
? Sustainable world: oceanic engineering, waste and pollution,
e-waste, recycling, earth observation, GPS
? Healthcare: biomedical, telemedicine, bioelectrics,
nano-biotechnology, neuroengineering
? Consumer electronics/gaming: mobile technology, sustainable
electronics, intelligent transportation, robotics, batteries and power
supply, gaming, multimedia, augmented and virtual reality, wearable
technology
? Engineering education: global workforce, women in engineering,
accreditation, lifelong learning, education and technology
? Information technology: cloud computing, security and privacy,
networking, cybersecurity, sensors, green communications, digital
devices, data connectivity, wireless
The initial efforts are focused in 7 countries: Brazil, China, India,
Japan, South Korea, the UK, and the US. We envision their participation
to include one or more of the following activities:
? Participating in media opportunities;
? Contributing/drafting articles to be published in industry
publications;
? Tapped for speakerships, press seminars, and media engagements
? Featured on the IEEE.org website and in IEEE press releases;
? Recommending additional subject matter technical experts,
and/or tie-in events.
These technical experts need to fit the following criteria:
? They can ?drill down? on the subject matter
? They are comfortable speaking to the media
Our ultimate goal is to expand our existing Technical Experts Database
to ensure that IEEE can quickly respond to hot issues and showcase our
leadership in these areas.
