The IEEE Nanotechnology Council (NTC) elected new officers at its Annual Administrative Committee Meeting held in Jeju, Republic of Korea, on 2 July 2023.
Representatives of the twenty-two IEEE Societies who are Council members gather annually to conduct Council business and elect officers. This year saw the introduction the second set of Vice-president-elects and Members-at -Large. The positions up for election were: VP-elect for Conferences and VP-elect for Finances (3 years, elect 2024; VP 2025-2026), and Member-at-Large (MAL) (up to 3) (2024-2025).
John T.W. Yeow, University of Waterloo (Canada) was elected VP-elect for Conferences and Malgorzata Chrzanowska-Jeske, Portland State University (USA) was elected VP-elect for Finances.
Sanjukta Bhanja, University of South Florida and Li Tao, Southeast University, Nanjing, China were elected Members-at-Large 2024-25.
VP-elect for Finances (3 years, elect 2024; VP 2025-2026)
Malgorzata Chrzanowska-Jeske is Professor of ECE and Director of VLSI & Emerging Technology DA Laboratory at Portland State University, where she was ECE Department chair from 2004 to 2010. Previously, she was with the Technical University of Warsaw and the Research and Production Center of Semiconductor Devices. She holds a Ph.D degree in EE from Auburn University. Her research interests include CAD for VLSI and 3DICs, nanotechnology and nano/bio systems, and design for emerging and renewable technologies.
