The event began with the ceremonial lighting of the lamp\, signifying the dispelling of ignorance through the light of knowledge. Our Head of t he Department and Chapter Advisor Dr. Haraprasad Mondal then delivered a w elcome address\, reflecting on the growing significance of antenna and pro pagation research and the role of such academic communities in shaping the future. The presence of our Director Sir and all faculty members added to the gravitas of the occasion.\n\nTwo eminent guest speakers graced the oc casion:\n\n● Professor Christophe Fumeaux\, Professor at the University of Queensland\, Australia\, and President of the IEEE Antennas and Propaga tion Society\, joined us virtually. Prof. Fumeaux spoke about the evolving landscape of antenna design in the context of emerging technologies such as 5G\, IoT\, and biomedical applications. He also discussed the IEEE AP S ociety’s global initiatives and the value of student engagement in profe ssional development\, urging attendees to explore collaborative internatio nal opportunities.\n\n● Professor Debatosh Guha\, from the Institute of Radiophysics and Electronics\, University of Calcutta\, and a Distinguishe d Lecturer of the IEEE AP Society\, was present on campus. His engaging ta lk explored advanced design challenges in compact antenna systems and the practical nuances of achieving high-efficiency performance in modern RF sy stems. His real-world case studies and ability to simplify complex concept s captured the interest of both students and faculty.\n\nThe event also fe atured a grand unveiling of the official logo and website of the IEEE AP S ociety\, which was launched by our Webmaster. This digital milestone marks the society’s formal online presence and will serve as a hub for update s\, resources\, and upcoming events. In addition\, Chapter Chair Souvik Gh osh presented a comprehensive overview of the chapter’s vision\, planned initiatives\, and budget allocations. His presentation laid the foundatio n for a year of impactful student activities\, hands-on learning\, and pro fessional growth.\n\nWith an audience of 55+ enthusiastic students\,and ma ny faculty members\, the event was a celebration of innovation\, knowledge -sharing\, and community-building. The interactive nature of the guest ses sions\, combined with the collective excitement of launching something new \, made the inauguration a resounding success and a memorable beginning fo r the IEEE AP Society at Dibrugarh University.\n\nSpeaker(s): Prof. Christ ophe Fumeaux\, Prof. Debatosh Guha\n\nECE Department\, Dibrugarh Universit y\, Dibrugarh \, Assam\, India\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m /484301 LOCATION:ECE Department\, Dibrugarh University\, Dibrugarh \, Assam\, India \, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/484301 ORGANIZER:ieeeapmttjointsbcdibrugarhuniv@gmail.com SEQUENCE:28 SUMMARY:INAUGURATION CEREMONY OF IEEE AP-S STUDENT BRANCH CHAPTER DIBRUGARH UNIV URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/484301 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="" data-start="134" data-end="293">T he IEEE Dibrugarh University Antennas and Propagation (AP) Society was off icially inaugurated on 9th May 2025 at 10:00 AM in an offline ceremony\, m arking a major step forward for our university&rsquo\;s IEEE community.
