(IET Fellow)
National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taiwan, China
Bohr-Ran Huang got
his bachelor degree in department of
Electrophysics from National Chiao-Tung
University, Hsin-chu, Taiwan, in 1983. He served
as the second lieutenant during his military
service between 1983 and 1985. Then he received
the M.S. and Ph.D degree in Electrical
Engineering from Michigan State University, East
Lansing, U.S.A, 1986 and 1992, respectively. In
1992, he joined the National Yunlin University
of Science and Technology (NYUST) as Associate
Professor of Electronic Engineering and became a
Full Professor in 2000. He served as Chairperson
of Electronic Engineering and Director of
Optoelectronic Institute in National Yunlin
University of Science and Technology between
2002 and 2007. Then he was recruited to the
graduate Institute of Electro-optical
engineering and department of Electronic
Engineering in National Taiwan University of
Science and Technology(NTUST) since August,
2007. He served as the Vice-Dean(2011-2014) and
Dean(2015-2017) for College of Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science(EECS).
Currently, he is a Distinguished Professor in
NTUST. Professor Huang’s multidisciplinary
research areas are synthesis of 1-D and 2-D
nanomaterials (including carbon nano tubes,
silicon nanowires, Nanodiamond, Graphene, WS2,
WSe2, MoS2, MoSe2, NbSe2, GaSe2…) and
nano-optoelectronic sensing devices. Currently,
he has published more than 210 papers in
referred journal publications and over 270
conference proceedings. Professor Huang is a
senior member of Electronic Device Society of
IEEE. He received the Outstanding Electrical
Engineering Award from Chinese Institute of
Electrical Engineering at 2013. Currently,
Professor Huang is a Fellow of Institution of
Engineering and Technology (IET).
Prof. Takafumi Koseki
The University of Tokyo, Japan
Ph.D. degree in
electrical engineering from The University of
Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, in 1992. He is currently a
Professor with the Department of Electrical
Engineering and Information Systems, Graduate
School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo.
His research interests include public transport
systems, particularly linear drives, and the
analysis and control of traction systems. Dr.
Koseki is a Fellow Member of The Institute of
Electrical Engineers of Japan.
Assoc. Prof. Esteve Hassan
Acadia University, Canada
Dr. Esteve Hassan
is an Associate Professor in the Jodrey School
of Computer Science at Acadia University, where
he leads innovative research and instruction in
the fields of the Internet of Things (IoT),
cyber‑physical systems, and machine learning. He
earned his Ph.D. in Electronic and Computer
Engineering from the University of Limerick,
following an M.Eng. and B.Sc./M.Sc. in the same
discipline.
Dr. Hassan’s research focuses on designing
low-power, energy‑harvesting sensor modules,
FPGA-optimized digital prototyping, and
predictive analytics for IoT and Industry 4.0
applications. His scholarly work has resulted in
multiple peer-reviewed publications, including
recent contributions to anomaly detection in
SELinux security policies. He is also a valued
member of the NSERC Scholarships and Fellowships
Review Committee for Computing Sciences,
reflecting his national standing.
At Acadia, Dr. Hassan teaches courses in
embedded systems, data analytics, and machine
learning, and supervises undergraduate and
graduate students on applied research projects
leveraging wireless sensor networks and smart
automation. His collaborative efforts span
academia and industry, enhancing real-world
impact through technology-driven solutions.
