I took over as the Editor-in-Chief (EiC) of IEEE Transactions on Communications (TCOM) exactly one month ago, on January 1, 2020. First of all, I would like to state that I am deeply honored and excited to serve as the new EiC. I have been closely involved with TCOM since 2007, both as an Editor and an Area Editor, and I am delighted that I now have the opportunity to lead the Transactions.
