Messages from 2020-2021 IEEE R10 Director and IEEE R10 Newsletter Coordinator . . .

Lau Bee Theng currently works as a Director at the School of Research and Professor at Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus. She is an active IEEE Sarawak Subsection, IEEE Malaysia Section and IEEE Region 10 volunteer who has fostered technological innovation and excellence that aligned well with the IEEE tagline of advancing technology for humanity. . .

The IEEE Indonesia Section was established on 16^th February 1988. It currently has 2983 active members as of February 2022. The Section has been awarded 2021 Outstanding Section Membership Recruitment and Retention performance by IEEE. This membership number has increased significantly in recent times. In 2021, there was an improvement in the number of active members as well as six new Student Branches and one Technical Joint Chapter . . .

Paulina Chan started my IEEE journey as a Graduate Student Member chairing the Imperial College London Student Branch, and published my first peer-reviewed paper at the ICC, entitled “Videoteleconferencing – Promise or Threat?” some time ago. The exposure to global networks and experts in so many technical fields was essential for a young engineer to find her footing.. . .
