AP/MTT Distinguished Instructor Workshop

The Distinguished Instructors Workshop (DIW) is a collaborative initiative jointly supported by the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) and the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society (MTT-S). The program aims to inspire undergraduate and tertiary students by bridging the gap between academic studies and the development of next-generation wireless communication technologies. World-renowned educators and engineers will offer insights into the history of microwave and antenna technologies, the evolution of modern wireless systems, and the cutting-edge wireless applications shaping the future. Instructors will also share their personal growth journeys, offering a unique perspective on their careers. The Distinguished Instructors will take participants on an engaging journey through the history of wireless technology, from traditional applications like radio, TV, and early mobile phones, to today’s advanced portable devices and wearable/implantable wireless sensors. Participants will explore the remarkable contributions of microwave and antenna technologies to human progress, gaining access to world-class educational resources and cutting-edge insights. Through direct interaction with the Instructors, students will experience the transformative power of technologies such as 5G/6G wireless communications, virtual reality, telepresence, and automotive radar in unmanned vehicles.
