Write-up on the Event:
The IEEE AP-S/MTT-S Distinguished Instructors Workshop 2026, organized on 20th April 2026 at the School of Electronics Engineering, KIIT (Deemed to be University), Bhubaneswar, was a prestigious and knowledge-intensive academic event focused on advancing expertise in electromagnetics, antennas, and microwave engineering. Jointly organized by the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) and IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society (MTT-S) Student Branch Chapters of KIIT, in collaboration with IEEE APS/MTT-S Student Branch Chapters of IIST Trivandrum and the IEEE AP-S Kerala Chapter, the workshop showcased strong inter-institutional collaboration and academic excellence. Conducted from 10:20 AM to 1:30 PM in virtual mode via Webex with physical congregation at the Conference Hall, the event ensured effective participation and interaction among attendees. A total of 20 participants attended the workshop, benefiting from high-quality sessions delivered by globally renowned experts. A key highlight of the workshop was the series of distinguished lectures covering cutting-edge topics such as “Role of Electromagnetic Simulations in Commercial Product Design” by Dr. C. J. Reddy, “Microwave and Millimeter Wave Beam Steering using Near-field Metasurfaces” by Prof. Karu Esselle, “The Evolution of Electronics and Communication Technology: From TV and Radio to Wearable Sensors” by Prof. Maurizio Bozzi, and “Fundamentals to Advanced: Microwave and Antennas for Emerging Applications” by Dr. Chinmoy Saha. These sessions provided a comprehensive blend of theoretical foundations and advanced practical insights. The primary objective of the event was to enhance academic knowledge while promoting social awareness and outreach in emerging electromagnetic and communication technologies. Participants gained valuable exposure to real-world design challenges, simulation methodologies, and future research directions. Overall, the workshop successfully fostered technical excellence, interdisciplinary learning, and research motivation among students and researchers in the field of antennas and microwave engineering.
