IEEE AP-S Young Professional Ambassador Program
2024 IEEE AP-S YP Ambassadors
Objective of IEEE AP-S Young Professional Ambassador Program is to inspire and inform AP-S Young Professionals (YP) on a variety of topics both technical and non-technical to enhance their interest and engagement in the field of Antennas and Propagation by delivering the talks at various chapters/sections "on-demand" virtually. IEEE AP-S Chapters can reach out to the Ambassadors to schedule their talks.
IEEE AP-S YP Sub-committee chaired by Qammer Abbasi and the members, Nelson Foneseca, Asimina Kiourti, Debdeep Sarkar and Jiang Zhu, selected the following 10 IEEE AP-S YP Ambassadors (class of 2024) based on the qualification criteria. They are sorted according to their last names as below:
