YOU'RE INVITED! Join the IEEE Queen's Branch in welcoming Dr. Jawad Siddiqui from the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society to speak with students about new work in antennas for the space domain, as well as the opportunities available to students through the IEEE. All students are welcome! The talk will explore the evolving role of antenna technologies in modern space applications, with a particular focus on CubeSats and rocket platforms. It will discuss key challenges such as size constraints, thermal management, deployment mechanisms, and radiation effects, as well as emerging trends in adaptive, reconfigurable, and additive-manufactured antennas designed for the space environment. The presentation will also highlight opportunities for students and professionals to engage with the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S), including the benefits of membership and participation in its SIGHT (Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology) initiatives that apply antenna and propagation technologies for societal impact. The speaker will welcome questions from the audience. The seminar will end with an interactive discussion with the speaker about opportunities for students in the IEEE. These include best practices for achieving funding awards through the IEEE, with a focus on the AP-S.
