Statement of Motivation for Serving on the ISSMO Executive Committee 

With broad digital transformation, our ISSMO community has become increasingly important for research and technology innovation broadly. I feel that the EC would benefit from members with diverse backgrounds including research areas, geographical regions, industry collaborations etc. With a research background in optimization, digital twin and AI for various industrial fields such as home appliances and shipbuilding, I believe I can contribute to the Executive Committee’s awareness of the rapidly changing digital industry. If selected to join the Executive Committee, I will work collaboratively with other members to ensure that the ISSMO continues to be a transformative community that adapts to the evolving digital industry.
