Lebanese Electromagnetics Day 2023
The Lebanon IEEE joint Chapter AP/MTT/MAG is organizing a technical event and a 3-tier student competition. This year's in person event will be held at Byblos on Friday June the 16th , 2023. The event features many presentations, the highlight of which will be a competition for students in Lebanon permitting them to showcase their recent academic work in (electro)magnetics. Students will compete at three levels: undergraduate, graduate Masters level and graduate PhD level. Topic of study should fit the areas of interest of one of the AP-S/MTT/MAG societies, largely electromagnetics and magnetics. The work reported could be pure theory, simulation, applications or a combination of all three. It is requested that students wishing to participate, submit a no more than a 200-word abstract. Students with a selected abstract will have 10 minutes to present their work and a committee will select the best presenters. There are 6 cash prizes. Two prizes for the best PhD level research ($125 and $75), two for the best Master level project ($100 and $60), and two for the best senior/final year project presentation ($75 and $40). Up to 15 first registrants who are not of the three societies will receive a complementary membership award in a society of their choice. Students and other individuals who wish to attend this workshop and its social and cultural events should register through the link indicated in this announcement. You can upload your abstract either by copying the following link or by clicking on the link under "survey URL" at the end of this announcement. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScI5eomk7-k6p1FcvMEw0TdoXQdOEjKFmqdmzJ1wSZxrGOvBg/viewform
The deadline for abstract submission is Tuesday June 13th, 2023 (8PM Beirut time)..

Remote Sensing and Google Cloud Computing Platforms - An Overview of Some Applications in Lebanon
Remote sensing is the process of detecting and monitoring periodically the physical characteristics of large areas on the earth by measuring the reflected and emitted radiation at a distance. The process is implemented using various platforms such as satellites, airplanes, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), and handheld equipment. According to the UN Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) records, there are 8261 satellites orbiting the Earth as on January 2022, out of which only 4852 satellites are active. There are also active and passive sensors that are carried by these platforms such as radar, optic, and LIDAR. This continuous monitoring of the earth leads to daily large volumes of data such that commercial imaging companies are collecting upwards of 100 terabytes (TB) or more per day. The huge volume of daily data requires dedicated large computer resources to process and analyze them in a short time to extract useful information. Google Earth Engine (GEE) is a free cloud-computing platform that can be used to accomplish many remote sensing complicated tasks including collecting, modifying, analyzing, and presenting the data. Moreover, Google Colaboratory (Colab) is a free application that can be used to help in implementing remote sensing applications using advanced machine learning algorithms. In this presentation, we will show how we implemented remote sensing applications using the GEE computing platform and the Colab application.
