Finding the Value of Your Membership as an IEEE Young Professional
One day in 2015 in Colombo, Sri Lanka, I ran into a volunteer of the local IEEE Power and Energy Society Chapter, Manjula Hemapala. He told me about the plans to invite a legendary educator and Smart Grid pioneer Mo El-Hawary to Sri Lanka.
IEEE Nuclear & Plasma Sciences Society: Celebrating 75 Years
The first activity on record in the nuclear and plasma sciences field was the formation of a Nuclear Studies Committee in the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) in 1947 to determine the proper role of the IRE in this new technical field. Subsequently, in 1949, the Professional Group on Nuclear Science (PGNS) was formed, marking the early origins of the IEEE Nuclear & Plasma Sciences Society (NPSS).
MINTS-AI: Multi-scale Sensing in Service of Society
IEEE Technical Activities is proud to host the next IEEE Tech Talk at the November IEEE Meeting Series in Dallas, Texas, where Professor David J. Lary will speak on smart sensing in service of society, delivering actionable insights through scalable, software-defined sensors—from satellites to wearables to 24/7 city-wide networks, to autonomous robotic teams (in the air, on water, and on land.)
