After three terms and six years of service, this will be my last issue as editor-in-chief of IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine ( VTM ). It will also be my last issue on the editorial board of VTM after 18 years of service since its establishment in 2006. In fact, my service started as early as 2000 when VTM was still a newsletter, and our current Vice President of Publications, James Irvine, asked me to join the team and write the Mobile Radio column. At the time, I was in the middle of my Ph.D. at the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow, U.K.). It was a period when decisions on 3G were constantly making headlines in the news. This was a fascinating time for a young Ph.D. student to start a career, and the continuous discussions over lunch about industry news led me to start writing the column for the Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) newsletter. I also have fond memories of the work and activities we did to transform the newsletter into what is now a thriving IEEE magazine.

告别辞[来自编辑]


经过三个任期和六年的服务，这将是我作为 IEEE 车辆技术杂志 (VTM) 主编的最后一期。这也是我在 VTM 编委会任职的最后一期，自 2006 年成立以来已服务了 18 年。事实上，我的服务早在 2000 年就开始了，当时 VTM 还是一份通讯，现任出版副总裁 James欧文邀请我加入团队并撰写移动广播专栏。当时，我正在攻读博士学位。斯特拉斯克莱德大学（英国格拉斯哥）。那个时期，有关 3G 的决定不断成为新闻头条。对于一位年轻的博士来说，这是一段迷人的时光。学生开始职业生涯，午餐时对行业新闻的持续讨论促使我开始为车辆技术协会 (VTS) 时事通讯撰写专栏。我还对我们为将时事通讯转变为如今蓬勃发展的 IEEE 杂志所做的工作和活动留下了美好的回忆。
