President's Message

January 2026

C. J. Reddy

First, I would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year 2026!! As we begin the new year, I am honored and humbled to be serving as the 2026 President of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S)!! This is a great time for AP-S as one of the fastest growing societies of IEEE. As of now, AP-S just crossed 16,000 members. I am grateful to the AP-S membership entrusting me with this responsibility of leading the Society.

I also would like to thank our outgoing President, Prof. Christophe Fumeaux, who made me part of every aspect of the society’s operations in 2025 as I prepare to take on the duties of the President in 2026. I will be relying heavily on the guidance of Prof. Christophe Fumeaux as well as our past presidents, Prof. Branislav Notaroš, Prof. Stefano Maci, Prof. Gianluca Lazzi and Prof. Yahya Antar. More
