DESCRIPTION:The IEEE IEM Microwave Theory and Technology Society Student Br
 anch Chapter (MTT-S SBC) successfully organized a Distinguished Microwave 
 Lecture (DML) on 11th December 2025 at the IEM Gurukul Campus\, Kolkata. T
 he event was conducted as part of the IEEE MTT-S Distinguished Microwave L
 ecturer program\, aiming to expose students and researchers to cutting-edg
 e advancements in microwave engineering and its expanding role in emerging
  technologies.\n\nThe lecture was delivered by Prof. Joseph Bardin\, a glo
 bally recognized researcher and engineer whose work lies at the intersecti
 on of microwave engineering\, integrated circuits\, and scalable quantum c
 omputing architectures. Prof. Bardin earned his Ph.D. in Electrical Engine
 ering from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in 2009\, foll
 owing his M.S. degree from UCLA. He subsequently joined the University of 
 Massachusetts Amherst\, where he has progressed through the academic ranks
  and currently serves as a Full Professor in the Department of Electrical 
 and Computer Engineering.\n\nIn 2017\, Prof. Bardin joined the Google AI Q
 uantum team\, where he presently leads the development of advanced Complem
 entary MOS integrated circuits\, forming the critical electrical infrastru
 cture for some of the world’s most advanced superconducting quantum proc
 essors. His research has significantly influenced the evolution of scalabl
 e quantum systems\, emphasizing that the success of quantum processors dep
 ends not only on qubits\, but also on high-performance microwave control\,
  readout electronics\, and system-level integration.\n\nProf. Bardin’s c
 ontributions have resulted in several landmark publications in Nature\, Sc
 ience\, and Nature Physics\, accumulating over 21\,000 citations with an h
 -index of 44\, reflecting his profound impact on both academic research an
 d industrial quantum technology development. His scientific leadership has
  been recognized through numerous prestigious honors\, including the DARPA
  Young Faculty Award\, Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award\,
  and the IEEE MTT-S Outstanding Young Engineer Award.\n\nDuring the lectur
 e\, Prof. Bardin shared insights drawn from his experiences at Google Quan
 tum AI and UMass Amherst\, offering attendees a rare perspective on the be
 hind-the-scenes engineering challenges of quantum computing systems. His p
 resentation was marked by exceptional clarity and depth\, highlighting how
  microwave engineering serves as a foundational pillar in pushing quantum 
 computing beyond classical limits.\n\nThe session witnessed active partici
 pation from students\, researchers\, and faculty members\, followed by an 
 engaging interactive discussion. The event significantly enhanced particip
 ants’ understanding of the critical role of microwave technologies in qu
 antum architectures and aligned strongly with IEEE’s mission of advancin
 g technology for humanity.\n\nBldg: Gurukul Campus\, Sector- 5\, Salt Lake
