Call for IUS Medical Ultrasonics TPC Applications
Call for New Technical Program Committee Members
Applications solicited for the IEEE UFFC International Ultrasonics Symposium (IUS) Medical Ultrasonics (Group 1) Technical Program Committee (TPC). Application Deadline: February 28, 2019.
Committee Composition and Roles
The IUS Medical Ultrasonics Technical Program Committee (TPC) currently consists of 63 experts from the field's academic and industrial communities. It plays a key role in the organization of the UFFC Society’s premier meeting, the International Ultrasonics Symposium. As part of this process, TPC members actively contribute to a number of operations. Key activities include: objective review of abstract submissions, selection of invited speakers, organization of the student paper competition, assembly of the conference program schedule, and planning of special sessions for Medical Ultrasonics.
Applying
The IUS Medical Ultrasonics TPC will continue to expand in 2019 and is now seeking new members to join the committee. Applications are currently being accepted until the end of February 2019. We are particularly interested in candidates who will bring expertise to one or more of Medical Ultrasonics technical disciplines (listed below) and those who will show strong commitment to contribute to the IEEE UFFC IUS and various committee operations.
Qualified candidates from academia and industry are both being sought. Academia-based candidates should be independent researchers with multiple years of post-graduate experience and excellent research standing as a principal investigator in one or more topics of medical ultrasonics. Industry-based candidates should have a sustained track record of technical involvement and/or leadership in developing new medical ultrasound solutions. Candidates who possess a combination of academic and industry experience in medical ultrasonics are also welcomed.
,p>Interested candidates should send their CV to the current Medical Ultrasonics TPC Vice-Chair, Alfred Yu. All candidate's CVs will be reviewed by current TPC members. New members will be selected based on their professional excellence in medical ultrasonics, as determined through a voting process. Candidates will be informed of the results in March.
