The EMC Society Board of Governors has approved four new Distinguished Lecturers (DLs) for the term 2026-2027. They are Dr. Olena Zhu, Prof. Si-Ping Gao, Dr. Charles Jullien, and Dr. Guido Rasek. Our other current four DLs: Prof. Qi-Jun Zhang, Prof. Xing-Chang Wei, Prof. Ramiro Serra, and Mr. Jason Bommer will continue their terms through December of 2026.
Before introducing the newest DLs, we want to acknowledge the contributions made by our retiring DLs, Dr. Benoit Derat, Prof. Roni Khazaka, Prof. Shiban Koul, and Mr. Keith Fraizer over the past two years. During their terms, they volunteered to spend many days away from home and family to disseminate their knowledge in the fields-of-interest to EMCS. They traveled around the globe to give presentations in the Americas, Asia, and Europe. In addition, they delivered talks via online webinars to the global EMC and SIPI community. Our Society's local Chapter meetings have benefited from the in-person as well as online contributions of these bright and learned volunteers. For those of you who have attended one of their presentations, I am sure you know what a very fun and educational experience these folks provide. Please join me in thanking our retiring DLs and welcoming our new expert speakers.
If you have not seen a DL at your Chapter meeting or their online presentations, you are really missing one of the most popular benefits that the EMCS offers. I am certain that this year's new speakers will continue the DL tradition of offering excellent technical education, advice, and entertainment. Chapter chairs can request any of the Distinguished Lecturers to come to their local Chapter meeting. Once the schedule details are agreed upon by both parties, the EMC Society pays for the travel costs, so that the local Chapters get expert speakers on a wide range of topics (at no cost to the local Chapters).
Following are our new Distinguished Lecturers for 2026-2027. Please feel free to contact them directly by phone or email to discuss hosting them at your next Chapter meeting or other special event of interest to the EMCS membership. You can find the contact information under the Distinguished Lecturer section of the EMC Society web site.
