Dr. Shaoshan Liu for IEEE Computer Society Board of Governors, Voting Begins Aug 8, 2022!

Position Statement

In addition to ensure that the Computer Society remains the community of choice for practitioners, researchers and students alike, through its premier products (publications, conferences, standards, etc.), I will seek to establish mechanisms to shepherd new technologies from the incubation stage, all the way to commercialization and standardization.

Industry Engagement for Technical Excellence: I have experienced how many cutting-edge research results are produced through academia-industry collaborations. ?I will foster connections between academic research groups and industry product groups, with the intent of leading to key technological breakthroughs, for example, by organizing mix-and-match events and industry sessions in major conferences.?

Fostering Technology Entrepreneurship: Many CS members feel the drive to commercialize the technologies they develop. However, often they are puzzled about how to take that initial step. I have gone through this exact process. I will collaborate with IEEE Entrepreneurship to facilitate connections between researchers, investors, and practitioners.

Technology Proliferation through Standardization: The CS has a successful history of technology standard development.?To accelerate the proliferation of emerging technologies, such as deep learning and autonomous machines, I will collaborate with the IEEE Standard Association to form working groups for CS members to actively participate the standardization process of key emerging technologies.
