His analysis pursuits embrace making use of synthetic intelligence, machine studying, computational intelligence, and different methods to unravel sensible issues. He has authored greater than 400 publications within the disciplines of AI, computational intelligence, and associated purposes. Fung at present works on the moral purposes and social impacts of AI.
A member of the
IEEE Methods, Man, and Cybernetics Society, Fung has been an lively IEEE volunteer for greater than 30 years. As a member and chair of the IEEE Technical Program Integrity and Convention High quality committees, he oversaw the standard of technical applications introduced at IEEE conferences. Fung additionally chaired the Area 10 Academic Actions Committee. He was instrumental in translating academic supplies to native languages for the IEEE Reaching Locals challenge.
As chair of the
IEEE New Initiatives Committee, he established and promoted the US $1 Million Problem Name for New Initiatives, which helps potential IEEE applications, providers, or merchandise that may considerably profit members, the general public, the technical neighborhood, or clients and will have an enduring affect on IEEE or its enterprise processes.
Fung has left an indelible mark as a devoted educator at
Singapore Polytechnic, Curtin College, and Murdoch College. He was appointed in 2015 as professor emeritus at Murdoch, and he takes pleasure in coaching the following era of volunteers, leaders, lecturers, and researchers within the Western Australian neighborhood. Fung obtained the IEEE Third Millennium Medal and the IEEE Area 10 Excellent Volunteer Award.
IEEE Senior Member Eric Grigorian
Director, Area 3: Southern U.S. & Jamaica
Sean McNeil/GTRI
Grigorian has in depth expertise main worldwide cross-domain groups that assist the business and protection industries. His present analysis focuses on implementing model-based methods engineering, creating fashions that depict system conduct, interfaces, and structure. His work has led to streamlined processes, lowered prices, and sooner design and implementation of capabilities because of environment friendly modeling and verification. Grigorian holds two U.S. utility patents.
Grigorian has been an lively volunteer with IEEE since his time as a pupil member on the
College of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). He noticed it as a superb method to community and get to know individuals. He discovered his character was fitted to working inside the group and constructing management expertise. Throughout the previous 43 years as an IEEE member, he has been affiliated with the IEEE Aerospace and Digital Methods (AESS), IEEE Laptop, and IEEE Communications societies.
As Grigorian’s profession has developed, his involvement with IEEE has additionally elevated. He has been the
IEEE Huntsville Part pupil actions chair, in addition to vice chair, and chair. He additionally was the part’s AESS chair. He served as IEEE SoutheastCon chair in 2008 and 2019, and served on the IEEE Area 3 government committee as space chair and convention committee chair, enhancing IEEE members’ advantages, engagement, and profession development. He has considerably contributed to initiatives inside IEEE, together with selling preuniversity science, know-how, engineering, and arithmetic efforts in Alabama.
Grigorian’s skilled achievements have been acknowledged with quite a few awards from employers and native technical chapters, together with with the 2020
UAH Alumni of Achievement Award for the Faculty of Engineering and the 2006 IEEE Area 3 Excellent Engineer of the Yr Award. He’s a member of the IEEE–Eta Kappa Nu honor society.
IEEE Life Senior Member Christina Schober
Director, Division V
Katie Fears/Brio Artwork
Schober is an progressive engineer with a various design and manufacturing engineering background. With greater than 40 years of expertise, her profession has spanned analysis, design, and manufacturing sensors for house, business, and navy plane navigation and tactical steering methods. She was liable for the profitable transition from design to manufacturing for groundbreaking applications together with an built-in flight administration system, the Stinger missile’s roll frequency sensor, and the designing of three phases of the DARPA atomic clock. She holds 17 U.S. patents and 24 different patents within the aerospace and navigation fields.
Schober began her profession within the Nineteen Eighties, at a time when feminine engineers weren’t broadly accepted. The prevailing perspective required her to “keep powerful,” she says, and he or she credit IEEE for giving her technical {and professional} assist. Due to her experiences, she turned devoted to creating variety and inclusion systemic in IEEE.
Schober has held many management roles, together with IEEE Division VIII Director,
IEEE Sensors Council president, and IEEE Requirements Sensors Council secretary. Along with her membership within the IEEE Photonics Society, she is lively with the IEEE Laptop Society, IEEE Sensors Council, IEEE Requirements Affiliation, and IEEE Girls in Engineering.
She can also be lively in her local people, serving as an invited speaker on STEM for the general public faculty system and was a volunteer at youth shelters. Schober has obtained quite a few awards together with the
IEEE Sensors Council Lifetime Contribution Award and the IEEE Twin Cities Part’s Younger Engineer of the Yr Award. She is an IEEE Laptop Society Gold Core member, a member of the IEEE–Eta Kappa Nu honor society and obtained the IEEE Third Millennium Medal.
