As the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Network, I am pleased to announce the new column, “Women in Networks”. Computer communications and networking have made tremendous advancements in the past 20 years. They have become the backbone for many mobile, edge, and IoT devices that we interact with and utilize in our work and throughout our daily lives. This great technology's convenience in today's life is all owed to the researchers and engineers who diligently work in the networking community. Among them, women who work in the computer communications and networking areas have made invaluable contributions to technology advancements. This new column, “Women in Networks”, aims to introduce distinguished female researchers, engineers, and educators who have been actively working and dedicating themselves in the research and development of computer communications and networking domain. I hope their stories will make people more aware of the unique contributions coming from these dedicated female researchers and engineers. I also hope young female students and researchers will be intrigued to work in the exciting information technology domain and contribute to reshaping future technology. In this inaugural issue of the new column, I would like to introduce Dr. Yingying (Jennifer) Chen. Dr. Chen will serve as the Editor of this new column. She will collect and tell you the stories of many distinguished female scientists and engineers in this exciting area.
