Recently, IEEE EMC Society annouced 4 new Distinguished Lecturer for 2011-2012. They are Professor Chuck Bunting, Jerry Meyerhoff, Professor Wen-Yan Yin, and Jerry Ramie. Professor Wen-Yan Yin, IEEE Senior Member, is well known for his work in electromagnetic compatibility and electromagnetic nanoelectronics as well as computational multiphysics and their applications.
IEEE EMC Society Distinguished Lecturer Program:
The EMC Society’s Distinguished Lecturer Program provides speakers for Society chapter meetings and similar functions. Each Distinguished Lecturer (DL) can offer one of several pre-prepared presentations on various EMC topics. DLs are appointed by the EMC Society Board of Directors for a two-year term. In 2011, the EMC Society will have seven Distinguished Lecturers serving on alternating terms.
IEEE EMC Society Distinguished Lecturers are engineering professionals who help lead their fields in new technical development that shape the global community. These experts:l Specialize in the field of interest of their Society/Council.
l Travel to various technical and regional groups to lecture at events.
Wen-Yan Yin (M’99–SM’01)received the M.Sc. degree in electromagnetic field and microwave technique from Xidian University, Xi’an, China, in 1989 and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Xi’an Jiaotong University, Xi’an, in 1994. From 1993 to 1996, he was an Associate Professor with the Department of Electronic Engineering, Northwestern Polytechnic University, Fremont, CA. From 1996 to 1998, he was a Research Fellow with the Department of Electrical Engineering, Duisburg University, Duisburg, Germany, Granted by the Alexander von Humblodt-Stiftung of Germany. Since December 1998, he has been with the MMIC Modeling and Packing Laboratory, Department of Electrical Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore, as a Research Fellow. In March 2002, he joined the Temasek Laboratories, NUS, as a Research Scientist and the Project Leader of high-power microwave and ultrawideband electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)/EMI. Since April 2005, he has been a Professor in electromagnetic fields and microwave techniques with the School of Electronic Information and Electrical Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China, where he is also the Director and currently an adjunct Ph.D. Candidate Supervisor with the Center for Microwave and RF Technologies. In January 2009, he joined the Centre for Optical and Electromagnetic Research, National State Key Laboratory of Modern Optical Instrumentation, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, as a “Qiu Shi” Chair Professor. He is listed in the editorial board members and reviewers of the Journal of Electromagnetic Waves and Applications and Progress in Electromagnetics Research. As a leading author, he has published more than 180 international journal articles, including 18 international book chapters. One chapter of “Complex Media” is included in the Encyclopedia of RF and Microwave Engineering (JohnWiley & Sons, Inc., 2005). His main research interests include passive and active RF and millimeter-wave device and circuit modeling, ultrawideband interconnects and signal integrity, nanoelectronics, EMC and electromagnetic protection of communication platforms, and multiphysics computational methods and their applications.
Dr. Yin is the Technical Chair of Electrical Design of Advanced Packaging and Systems 2006, technically sponsored by the IEEE Components, Packaging, and Manufacturing Technology Society Subcommittee. He was a recipient of the Science and Technology Promotion Award of the first class from the Local Shanghai Government of China in 2005, the National Technology Invention Award of the second class from the Chinese government in 2008, and the Best Paper Award of the 2008 Asia-Pacific Symposium Electromagnetic Compatibility and 19th International Zurich Symposium in Singapore. He is a reviewer of lots of international journals, including seven IEEE transactions and letters, radio science, etc.
