I successfully completed an IEEE ComSoc Distinguished Lecture Tour (DLT) to Canada in June 2025. The tour followed IEEE ICC 2025 in Montreal, so the exchange of information and ideas was doubled. The tour included four institutions where the audience contributed remarkably insightful ideas, making the exchange of information a genuinely memorable experience.”
Talks given
In this DLT, I delivered four talks, scheduled as follows:
-
Talk one at Concordia University, Montreal-Quebec, hosted by Prof. Chadi Assi, on 13 June 2025.
In the historic port city known for its maritime legacy, a different kind of navigation took center stage at the 2025 IEEE ComSoc eHealth TC PhD School: navigating the future of healthcare through secure wireless technologies. I had the opportunity to present a Distinguished Lecture on Security for Wireless Body Area Networks (WBANs), a topic I’ve been working on for several years, particularly in the context of physical layer techniques.
The 142nd anniversary of Uyumbicho, located north of Mejía canton, 23 km from downtown Quito, was celebrated on July 26th, 2025. IEEE members from the ComSoc Ecuador Chapter played a key role in delivering a project that demonstrates the transformative power of technology for community safety. The initiative, “Technical Support for the Deployment of Devices of the Integrated Security System ECU-911 in the Parish of Uyumbicho,” was officially transferred to local authorities and community representatives, marking a moment of celebration and lasting impact.
In 2025, the IEEE ComSoc Colombia ComSoc Chapter participated in the organization of two highly relevant events in the country, dedicated to gathering both professional and Student Members: the IEEE Colombian Conference on Communications and Computing 2025 (IEEE ColCom 2025), and the National Meeting of Student Branches 2025 (RNR 2025, by its abbreviation in Spanish).
