It is a pleasure to give an overview of my recent distinguished lecture tours in two different regions, Central Europe and West Asia, in Oct. and Nov. 2024.
The tours involved lectures at multiple leading institutions spanning four cities, which raised important questions and inspired interesting discussions. The meetings also raised interest in exploring collaboration opportunities and visiting and learning about historical and cultural sites, which I very much enjoyed.
In these two tours, I delivered five talks, scheduled as follows:
DLT in Austria (Oct. 2024):
The IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) Sister Chapters Program (SCP)-2024 has demonstrated itself as a highly successful and efficient platform for promoting global collaboration among chapters. Driving technological advancements and enhancing professional development within the communications engineering community. With 200+ chapters worldwide, the ComSoc SCP fosters local engagement and global collaboration by connecting chapters from diverse regions and cultures to strengthen international ties and professional growth.
During 2024, the IEEE Jordan ComSoc Chapter made significant strides in fostering innovation and nurturing creative talent among Jordanian university students through competitions in cutting-edge technological fields. These included the Wireless Data Transfer Rate Measurement Using Deep Learning competition and the Jordan IoT& AI Challenges. These events showcased young minds’ ingenuity and demonstrated the power of academia-industry collaborations in addressing real-world challenges.
This article continues the series of ten interviews with the Officers of the IEEE ComSoc Member and Global Activities (MGA) Council for the term 2024–2025, which is published every month in the Global Communications Newsletter.
