Abstract
I was honored to be invited by Prof. Claire Migliaccio and Prof. Susan Hagness to speak at the 2023 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) Special Session on “The Antennas and Propagation Society in 2033: A Decade of Opportunities for Progress in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.” I discussed the advancement of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) from an early-career researcher’s perspective. It was my first nontechnical presentation at a conference. I was uncertain whether my limited experience would be adequate to address this significant and historic topic, especially with many of my role models in the audience. I am very happy (and, frankly, was quite relieved) that my talk was warmly received. I sincerely thank the audience for their positive feedback! This experience led to a delightful invitation from Prof. Francesca Vipiana to contribute to the “Women in Engineering” column. I wholeheartedly appreciate these wonderful opportunities.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine actively solicits feature articles that describe engineering activities taking place in industry, government, and universities. All feature articles are subject to peer review. Emphasis is placed on providing the reader with a general understanding of either a particular subject or of the technical challenges being addressed by various organizations, as well as their capabilities to cope with these challenges. Articles presenting new results, review, tutorial, and historical articles are welcome, as are articles describing examples of good engineering. The technical field of interest of the Magazine is the same as the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, and includes the following: antennas, including analysis, design, development, measurement, and testing; radiation, propagation, and the interaction of electromagnetic waves with discrete and continuous media; and applications and systems pertinent to antennas, propagation, and sensing, such as applied optics, millimeter- and sub-millimeter-wave techniques, antenna signal processing and control, radio astronomy, and propagation and radiation aspects of terrestrial and space-based communication, including wireless, mobile, satellite, and telecommunications.
