News Release
We are pleased to announce that Dr. Teresa H. Meng (孟 懷 榮 ), the Reid Weaver Dennis Professor at Stanford University, has accepted our invitation to be a NATEA Honorary Adviser. Professor Meng is a newly elected Academician (院 士) of Taiwan Academia Sinica (台 灣 中 央 研 究 院) with the Division of Mathematics and Physical Sciences. She is one of the 258 Academicians of that organization worldwide in 2010. The title of academician in Academia Sinica is an honor with no remuneration.
Professor Meng is the Founder and a Director of Atheros Communications, Inc. (創 銳 通 訊 科 技 ), Santa Clara, CA since 1998.
The following is the invitation addressed to Professor Meng:
Dear Teresa,
I should call you Academician Meng instead of calling you Teresa as I am used to it.
On behalf of the North America Taiwanese Engineers' Association (NATEA), I congratulate you on your honor as a a newly elected Academician (院 士) of Taiwan Academia Sinica (台 灣 中 央 研 究 院) with the Division of Mathematics and Physical Sciences.
With former President of Academia Sinica Yuan- Tseh Lee's support and encouragement, the NATEA was officially founded in March 1991 in Silicon Valley, California by a group of engineers and scientists from Taiwan. Professor Lee was the keynote speaker at the NATEA forming ceremony.
NATEA has been growing steadily since its inception 19 years ago. Presently, it has 12 regional chapters with more than 2000 members across major cities and regions in North America including Canada.
We sincerely invite you to become a NATEA Honorary Adviser like others - former President Yuan-Tseh Lee, President Peter (Chung-Yu) Wu of NCTU, President Jei-Fu Shaw of NCHU, President Hung-Duen Yang of NSYSU, former President Johnsee Lee of ITRI, and former President Jyh-Sheng Ke of I I I. We hope to receive your advice for enhancing NATEA future science and technology directions and following globalization in collaboration with mainstream professional organizations such as IEEE, SVEC and IBIO. Note that all Honorary advisers have no financial obligations.
Looking forward to receiving your acceptance soon.
Best regards,
余 金 榜
