The IEEE Lebanon Section, IEEE Young Professionals Lebanon, and IEEE ComSoc Lebanon Chapter organized the “IEEE Officers Training Day 2024” on September 14th at the Lebanese American University (LAU), Byblos Campus. This event gathered five key officers - Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, Treasurer, Secretary, and Webmaster - from each Student Branch across Lebanon to equip them with the skills necessary for their leadership roles in the upcoming academic year.
The recent Edu-Vitality Hackathon, organized by the IEEE ComSoC Bangalore chapter and sponsored by Intel at RV College of Engineering, brought together 47 teams of four members each to push the boundaries of technology. This event focused on developing innovative solutions for remote patient monitoring using IoT and personalized education using AI.
Held from June 7 to 8, 2024, this hackathon was more than just a competition; it celebrated creativity, collaboration, and the incredible potential of young innovators.
I delivered an IEEE ComSoc Distinguished Lecturer Tour (DLT) in the UK in June. I presented my views and my team’s results on 6G, Autonomous Networks, Industry 5.0, AI/ML, and Complex Systems. The lectures occurred at Imperial College London, the University of Essex, and the University of Cambridge. They led to fantastic discussions with amazing audiences of talented researchers and experts that inspired me greatly for the research journey ahead of me.
It is a pleasure to give an overview of my distinguished lecture and speaker tours across two continents and three countries in the Summer and Fall of 2023. The tours involved lectures at multiple leading institutions, spanning six cities, which spurred intriguing questions and interesting discussions.
