IEEE(电气电子工程师学会)日前公布 2027 年度当选主席(President-Elect)选举结果:IEEE Life Fellow Manfred "Fred" J. Schindler 以 16,421 票击败获得 13,874 票的 Senior Member David Alan Koehler,成功当选。Schindler 将于 2028 年 1 月 1 日正式就任 IEEE 主席一职。截至发稿时,选举结果仍为非正式状态,需待 11 月 IEEE 董事会接受计票委员会报告后方可最终确认。作为全球最大的专业技术组织,IEEE 主席人选的更迭牵动着 40 余万会员及整个工程技术界的发展方向,此番人选落定引发了业界广泛关注。
三大施政目标:产业连接、数字化与技术传承
Schindler 在竞选中提出了三项核心目标。第一,加强 IEEE 与产业界的连接,通过协调跨地域、跨行业、跨技术的活动重振专业活动生态,尤其面向青年专业人士群体。第二,推动 IEEE 数字基础设施的改进,消除手动流程,实现接口现代化——这一目标直指学会长期存在的运营效率痛点。第三,将技术进步造福后代置于优先位置,扩展并支持 IEEE 各类创新倡议与项目。这三项目标勾勒出一位技术出身领导者对学会组织进化的完整思考:既要向外拥抱产业,也要向内完成自我革新。

微波技术老兵:从实验室到产业化的完整履历
Schindler 是微波半导体技术领域的资深专家,目前以独立顾问身份为客户提供技术专长、尽职调查和项目管理服务。在他的职业生涯中,他主导了微波集成电路(MIC)技术从实验室演示到大批量商业产品的完整开发路径,发表过多篇技术论文并持有 11 项专利。产业履历方面,他曾担任 Anlotik 首席技术官,执掌 Qorvo 与 RFMD 的波士顿设计中心,此前还曾在 IBM 担任应用经理、在 ATN Microwave 担任工程经理、在雷神(Raytheon)担任实验室经理。对于射频与微波产业而言,这份横跨芯片设计、国防电子与商业量产的履历相当扎实。
在 IEEE 体系内,Schindler 同样深耕多年。作为超过 30 年资历的志愿者,他曾担任 2024 年 IEEE 技术活动副主席、2021-2022 年第四分部(Division IV)主任,2015 至 2018 年间出任 IEEE 会议委员会主席,并于 2003 年担任 IEEE 微波理论与技术学会(MTT-S)主席。他还获得 MTT-S 2018 年杰出服务奖和 2015 年 N. Walter Cox 奖,其获奖的微型企业专栏自 2011 年起持续刊载于 IEEE Microwave Magazine。2025 年,他领导了"One IEEE"战略投资特别委员会,推动创新与公共利益活动的资源整合。此外,他还是 IEEE-Eta Kappa Nu 及 MTT-S 的荣誉终身会员。
学会治理走向:专业化与数字化并重
从行业视角看,Schindler 的当选延续了 IEEE 由资深技术专家执掌学会的传统,但其施政重点透露出新的信号。强调产业连接与青年专业人士活动,反映了学会在会员结构年轻化、产业界参与度提升方面的现实需求;而将数字基础设施现代化列为三大目标之一,则表明这个拥有百年历史的组织正试图以技术手段改造自身的运营体系。对于国内通信与射频领域的工程师群体而言,IEEE 在产业协同与数字化服务上的任何改进,都将直接影响其获取国际学术资源与职业发展机会的体验。待 11 月董事会正式确认选举结果后,Schindler 的具体施政节奏与落地举措值得持续追踪。
