 SA (pychen@uic.edu)\n\nAlessio Monti\, Roma Tre University\, Italy (alessi
 o.monti@uniroma3.it)\n\nDanilo Erricolo\, University of Illinois Chicago\,
  USA derric1@uic.edu)\n\nProgram Summary\n\nThe IEEE AP-S Technical Commit
 tee on Metamaterials (TC4) and the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) wi
 ll co-organize a full-day workshop on Metamaterials and Smart Electromagne
 tic Environments in Chicago\, USA. This event convened leading researchers
  and engineers to examine transformative advancements in metasurfaces\, re
 configurable intelligent surfaces (RIS)\, and next-generation antenna and 
 wireless systems\, as well as their cutting-edge integration with AI\, dig
 ital twin\, quantum and chip technologies.\n\nThe workshop commenced with 
 welcoming remarks from Danilo Erricolo (UIC)\, who provided a strategic ov
 erview of IEEE AP-S initiatives designed to bolster the global antennas an
 d electromagnetics research community. Following this\, Pai-Yen Chen (UIC)
 \, Chair of the IEEE Chicago AP-S/MTT-S Joint Chapter\, delivered an updat
 e on local chapter activities and professional development opportunities. 
 Alessio Monti (Roma Tre University) then detailed the mission of TC4\, hig
 hlighting its critical role in steering the evolution of metamaterial tech
 nologies.\n\nThe technical program showcased state-of-the-art electromagne
 tic research and emerging applications across wireless sensing and communi
 cations\, biomedical\, and quantum technologies. Serving as a dynamic and 
 interactive forum\, the workshop facilitated high-level knowledge exchange
  between leading experts\, academia\, industry\, and IEEE Young Profession
 als.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society\; The U of 
 I-UAAT Partnership Program\n\nAgenda: \n\n\nRoom: 4426\, Bldg: Computer De
