The IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) successfully organized a Distinguished Lecturer (DL) Tour of Dr. Fatima Hussain, IEEE ComSoc Distinguished Lecturer, across Pakistan in October 2025. The tour featured a series of high-impact technical lectures on “Emerging Cybersecurity Threats and Current State of the Art” and engaged faculty members, researchers, students, IEEE members, young professionals, and industry participants from leading academic institutions.
I successfully completed an IEEE ComSoc Distinguished Lecture Tour (DLT) in Mexico and the United States this past March. During this tour, I visited three ComSoc chapters: the Monterrey Chapter in Monterrey, Mexico; the Morelos Chapter in Cuautla, Mexico; and the Atlanta Chapter in Atlanta, GA, USA. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet new colleagues, engage with researchers, educators, and students across four universities, and experience the warm hospitality of my hosts in Mexico and Atlanta.
The IEEE Beijing Section Communications Society Chapter (IEEE COMSOC) was honored to host and organize the Distinguished Lecturer Tour (DLT) of Dr. Qiang (John) Ye from the University of Calgary, Canada. As a key promoter of academic exchange, our chapter facilitated this high-level technical activity to share innovative insights with the local research community. On Tuesday, December 30, 2025, Dr. Ye delivered a comprehensive technical seminar that brought together faculty members and graduate students specializing in next-generation resilient wireless networks.
