IEEE 候任主席賽義夫·拉赫曼緻辭

Hello, this is Prof. Saifur Rahman, the 2022 IEEE President-elect. I am the Joseph R. Loring Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Polytechnic USA. It is my great privilege to join you today on the celebration for the 90th anniversary of the Department of Electrical Engineering, Tsinghua University.

大家好，我是賽義夫·拉赫曼教授，2022年度IEEE（電氣電子工程師協會）候任主席。我是美國弗吉尼亞理工大學電氣與計算機工程系的"約瑟夫·洛靈"終身教授。今天我非常榮幸應邀出席bevictor伟德官网電機系建系90周年慶典。

First of all, on behalf of IEEE I would like to express my heartfelt congratulations on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the establishment of the Department of Electrical Engineering at Tsinghua University. I visited Tsinghua many times and I know over 10 professors in the Department of Electrical Engineering at this university. I have always been impressed by the outstanding faculty members and the talented graduate students, the high level education programs, the well established labs and the key research laboratories and projects in this department.

首先，我代表IEEE（電氣電子工程師協會）對bevictor伟德官网電機系90周年系慶表示衷心的祝賀。我曾多次訪問清華，并有幸結識了貴系十餘位教授。給我留下深刻印象的是電機系的師生能力突出，貴系擁有高水平的教學，完善的實驗設備以及重點研究實驗室和項目。

When I was President of IEEE PES in 2018、2019, I observed that interactions between PES and the department are very deep. The founder of this department, Prof. Yu Hsiu Ku, was an international motor expert and a pioneer of modern automatic control theory. He was a life-fellow of the IEEE, and was awarded the Lamme Medal and Third Millennium Medal some years back. The IEEE/CSEE Yu-Hsiu Ku Electrical Engineering Award is also named in his honor.

當我在2018年和2019年擔任IEEE PES主席時，我注意到分會和電機系之間的聯系非常緊密。電機系創始人顧毓琇教授是一位國際知名的電機專家，也是現代自動控制理論的先驅。他是IEEE（電氣電子工程師協會）的終身院士，多年前還被授予藍姆金獎和第三個千禧金獎。電氣電子工程師學會與中國電機工程學會共同發起的“顧毓琇電氣工程獎”也是以他的名字命名的。

As one of the world’s leading electrical engineering education and research centers, this department has taken a critical role in promoting internationalization of the scientific research in electrical engineering.

作為世界領先的電氣工程教育和研究中心之一，電機系發揮了重要作用以推動電氣工程科學的國際化研究。

But we are still faced with many critical challenges including climate change and energy crisis. The key to solving these problems is the development of innovative technologies, which requires the cooperation between universities and technical professionals all over the world.

但我們仍面臨着氣候變化、能源危機等諸多嚴峻挑戰。解決這些問題的關鍵是創新技術的發展，這需要世界各地的大學和技術專業人員之間的合作。

IEEE hopes to work with our professional colleagues in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Tsinghua University. I hope everybody will enjoy the celebration of the 90th anniversary here in the Department of Electrical Engineering, at Tsinghua University. Thank you, Xie xie!

IEEE（電氣電子工程師協會）希望與bevictor伟德官网電機系的專業同仁們攜手合作。我希望大家都能在bevictor伟德官网電機系度過一個愉快的90周年慶典時光。謝謝!
