Prof. Hironori Washizaki, currently serving as 1st Vice President of the IEEE CS, has been voted IEEE Computer Society 2024 president-elect and 2025 president. Here are his comments on the election result.

Thanks for the support and encouragement during the election. Moreover, it was my great honor to go through the election campaign with such a great, passionate opponent. Let’s unite and work together for the benefit of humanity through fostering technological innovation and excellence in computer and information processing science and technology. I am genuinely excited and have a great honor to work with IEEE Computer Society members, related people, and entities by overseeing IEEE CS programs and operations and leading future directions in the year ahead. Particularly, as stated in my position statement, I envision and will lead moving forward the following aligned with IEEE CS’s strategic goals and themes:

1. Promoting CS membership to get more engagement, especially for students and early-career industrial/academia professionals.
2. Expanding academia-industry-government-society collaborations across other IEEE societies and external entities.
3. Enhancing activities that define and promote bodies of knowledge and related professional activities.
4. Strengthening digital open science and environments.

Once again, thanks for the support, and let’s work together!

Prof. Washizaki has started to take an additional new role as an Advisor at the University of Human Environments ( https://www.uhe.ac.jp/ ) to support the launching of a new department of data science and software engineering under environmental studies context. Launching such an interdisciplinary department and program is a challenging and exciting journey. There are open faculty positions for that (in Japanese at https://jrecin.jst.go.jp/seek/SeekJorDetail?id=D123070675 ).
