Statement: Todd was first elected to the IEEE EMC Society Board in 1995. What he lacked in experience, he more than made up for with enthusiasm. He was passionate about EMC and he was excited about new opportunities spurred by the proliferation of consumer electronics and advances in electromagnetic modeling techniques. He was also enthusiastic about the role that the EMC Society could play in promoting advances in this field. He took on new challenges, pushed for change, and despite occasional resistance from gray-haired curmudgeons on the Board; he managed to make significant contributions. Now, 15 years later, Todd is one of the gray-haired curmudgeons on the Board. Nevertheless, he has not lost his passion for EMC or his dedication to the mission of the society. He is running on the platform that every productive Board needs a few curmudgeons in order to maintain historical perspective and avoid reinventing the wheel.

RYUJI KOGA (M’79) was born in Tokyo on 1 January 1945. He received B.E., M.E. and D.E. degrees from Kyoto University in 1967, 1969, and 1975, respectively. He was employed at Atomic Energy Institute of Kyoto University. In 1976 he moved to Okayama University and focused on electronics. He experienced the adverse effects of EMI from digital system attached to the extremely sensitive analog system for laser sensing. Since then, he has been engaged in the study of EMC. His research group has expertise knowledge in controlling noise in PCB, and the modeling of EM behavior of PCB, cable and chassis. He was the chairperson of Technical Committee of IEICE, Japan (EMCJ). He was also the chair of IEEE EMCS Japan Chapter, and the chair of URSI-E Committee, Japan.
     IEEE/EMCS Activities: He is a member of IEEE EMCS and has been the Chair of EMCS Japan Chapter in the term of 2008-2009, as well as the vice chair, in 2006-2007. He invited four lecturers from abroad including three IEEE EMCS Distinguished Lecturers. He contributed to organizing a special session in IEEE EMC Symposium 2007, Hawaii. He presided at the 2009 EMC Symposium/Kyoto cosponsored by IEEE EMCS, which was his first experience to have a deep contact with EMCS through legal negotiation. The IEICE technical committee on EMCJ of IEICE has held 10 technical meetings every year since 1976, which were cosponsored by IEEE EMCS, and he presided over the committee since 2003 to 2006 as the chair and the vice chair contacting with IEEE EMCS Japan-Chapter. He has been, since 2004, the vice president of CEEM held in China every three years, technically cosponsored by EMCS.
Statement: Prof. Ryuji Koga had been a great success as the President of International Symposium of EMC Kyoto ’09. Also, he was the Chair of IEEE EMCS Japan Chapter 2008 to 2009 and he had founded and cooperated with many international conferences in Region 10 such as CEEM, APEMC, PPEMC and etc. with China, Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. And he was also one of the most active members of EMCJ of ICIEC, and one of the top research professors of Okayama University until his retirement in this March. One of his strong points is his proficiency in the Chinese language. He served as the director and the liaison officer of Changchun Office of Okayama University in China until his retirement.

KERMIT O. PHIPPS (AM’97-M’01-SM’09), is a Project Engineer/Scientist at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), and is a NARTE Certified EMC engineer. He has served in the US Air Force as an electronic warfare specialist. In his 18 year tenure at EPRI, his research and testing focuses on grounding, lightning protection, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), development of EMC test instrumentation, and characterization of various electromagnetic environments. He has conducted numerous power quality and EMC training sessions and field investigations. Mr. Phipps is the author of test plans, protocols, book chapters, and research papers presented at international power quality and EMC conferences. He is a member of the IEEE EMCS Standards Development Committee, current Secretary of the EMCS Technical Advisory Committee, Secretary for P299.1 and past chair of Technical Committee 4 and has completed work as the chairman of IEEE 1560 “Standard for Methods of Measurement of Radio Frequency Power Line Interference Filters.”
     IEEE/EMCS Activities: For more than 13 years, I have been a member of the IEEE. During the last 10 years, I have served the EMC Society’s Technical Committee 4 as Secretary, vice-chair and chair. I am currently TAC Secretary, and member of the SDCom. I am currently the Secretary for P299.1 and led an eight year effort as chair of P1560, now IEEE 1560. I have given presentations for several years for the Education Committee for Standards Development. I have presented three EMCS conference papers, chaired sessions, and performed two education workshop demonstrations on filtering and shielding. I have attended and participated in every EMC symposium since 1998.
     IEEE/EMCS Accomplishments and Recognitions/Awards: My single most creditable accomplishment was leading the eight year effort of developing IEEE 1560 from beginning to completion. I have no EMCS awards, however, my greatest personal satisfaction more than anything is the fact I have gained the recognition and respect of my fellow senior EMCS members. This was recognizable by the attendance and support during a presentation I gave on shielding effectiveness in 2008, in the face of much controversy surrounding the issue. The message of the paper was to bring about clarity of near field and far field measurements and the differences seen in shielding effectiveness numbers. By so doing, I have demonstrated I am willing to take risks by addressing controversial issues within the community and where science needs to be preserved.
Statement: I have more than 25 years of experience that includes technical military service and civilian research. For the last 18 years, I have worked at the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) and currently hold the position of Project Engineer/Scientist. My goal is simple in seeking a position on the EMC Society’s Board of Directors: “To promote EMC technology and the contribution it can make to society.” It is important to regenerate membership growth in the EMC Society and its technical committees. The EMC Society is currently losing critical talent and requires new talent for the next generation of EMI control challenges. Thank you for taking the time and considering me as a candidate for a position on the EMC Society’s Board of Directors.

DONALD L. SWEENEY (M’80-SM’00-LM’11). Senior EMC Engineer (NARTE Certificate Numbers EMC-001209-NE & EMC-001210-NT) and president of D.L.S. Electronic Systems, Inc. He is a graduate of the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana and has over 40 years experience in the electrical engineering field. Most of his time has been devoted to solving problems in electromagnetic engineering and closely related disciplines. He has worked for Extel Corporation, Teletype Corporation, Gates Radio, and Collins Radio prior to forming D.L.S. Electronic Systems, Inc.; a Wheeling, Illinois based company. He specializes in EMC, RFI and EMI consulting and testing. Don has taught at Oakton College and the University of Wisconsin (at both the Madison and Milwaukee Campuses), and consults nation-wide on electromagnetic compatibility. His company offers a class on EMC design developed over 30 years and he has taught these to more than 2,500 engineers. He has served as a special consultant to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. He is the founding chairman of the U.S. Council of EMC Laboratories and a NARTE certified EMC Engineer. He is a senior life member of the IEEE, past Chicago area Chairman of the IEEE EMC Society, and has served more than 12 years on the Board of Directors of the IEEE EMC Society. He has served on the IEEE EMC Standards Development Committee (SDCom) for more than 15 years, has been the Angel to the Chicago EMC Chapter, and is a member of the committee on P1688 Module Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Testing and P299 Shielding. As part of the work on P299, he received a plaque stating “IEEE-SA Standards acknowledges with appreciation Don Sweeney for contribution to the development of this (P299) standard, published 28 February 2007.” Because of this work, he was contacted by the Department of Defense of Canada and asked to rewrite two of their standards for the specifying and construction of shield rooms. As a member of the Board, he believes he presents an independent viewpoint. As a small business owner, he is concerned about cost. He has been a member of the IEEE for over 30 years. He believes he owes much of his own professional EMC development over those years to the EMC Society and feels serving on the BoD is a way to give back. He believes he brings to the BoD a small business perspective along with a desire to help our Society assist its members in growing in the discipline of EMC.        EMC
