In this article, I share my academic journey—from curious student with little confidence in passing exams to Young Professional (YP) recognized by the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S). Along the way, I overcame challenges and found my passion in the field of antennas and propagation. I tried to grow by being actively involved in the IEEE YP community, where I had the opportunity to connect with peers, give technical and nontechnical talks worldwide, and advocate for women in engineering. Through my experiences, I hope to encourage early-career researchers, especially young women, to believe in themselves, stay resilient through challenges, and make their own mark in the scientific world.

The last presidential message of the year offers a moment to reflect on the status and recent achievements of the Society. 2025 has been a tremendously active year for the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S), marked by ongoing transformation and unabated growth. It has been a unique honor to serve such a passionate, dedicated and welcoming community of professionals. Given the current scale of our Society and the breadth of its activities, teamwork naturally stands out as a defining element. The collaboration of our volunteers across our various committees has been both inspiring and essential to our continued success.

Advances in antenna technology during the 1930s unfolded amid a backdrop of post-World War I innovation, the economic constraints of the Great Depression, and the escalating militarism of the pre-World War II era. This article surveys key antenna developments from the interwar period, a time marked by rapid expansion in radio broadcasting, the emergence of television, the advent of radar, the rise of car radios, early strides in radio astronomy, and growing defense applications. With over six decades having passed since the last comprehensive review of this period, a broader historical perspective is now possible. This article aims to explore how these diverse applications produced enduring concepts for antenna development during a time of austerity.

A proliferation of recent studies, particularly in salmonids, has revealed that fish can exploit Earth’s magnetic field not only as a source of directional information for maintaining consistent headings, but also as a kind of map for determining location at sea and for returning to natal areas. Despite significant advances, much about magnetoreception in fishes remains enigmatic. How fish detect magnetic fields remains unknown… [1]

Wireless system evolution has driven major advances in over-the-air (OTA) testing. This paper explores innovations and our journey in optimizing OTA environments in size, cost, and capability. Key contributions include the effective far-field distance concept for reducing test range size with controlled error, development of ultra-compact antenna test ranges with thermal enclosures, and the commercial use of plane-wave synthesis arrays as space-efficient uniform field sources. We also present a hybrid near-field measurement and simulation method for complex scenarios, and a novel 2-D monostatic-bistatic equivalence theorem for efficient bistatic radar cross section characterization of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces from monostatic measurements. Finally, we outline a plausible next frontier in OTA testing.

The integration of a practical radio telescope into undergraduate engineering and science curricula is described. The aim is to transform an amateur radio experiment into a structured educational tool within engineering and science programs. This initiative seeks to inspire and attract more students to fields related to space science and exploration. A cost-effective five-meter parabolic reflector is designed and built using simple low-cost materials. With affordable software-defined radio (SDR) receivers and signal processing computer codes, a total implementation cost of fewer than 10,000 Saudi Riyal (approximately US$2,500) per telescope is achieved. This radio telescope has been successfully replicated in five universities in Saudi Arabia. This project shows a great potential to inspire collaborative scientific endeavors, particularly in the domains of antennas, wave propagation, and radio astronomy, promoting innovation and interdisciplinary research education.
