IEEE AP-S Young Professionals

IEEE Young Professionals is the group of IEEE members and volunteers who have graduated from their first professional degree within the past 15 years. It is an international community, whose members are interested in elevating their professional image, expanding their global network, connecting with peers locally and giving back to their community. Since it encompasses all members from recent university graduates to experienced professionals and entrepreneurs, the group is highly diverse in what it has to offer.

You will automatically become a member of Young Professional (YP) of AP-S, when you join the Antennas and Propagation Society. We are looking forward to improving and expanding our services to IEEE AP-S Young Professionals. Please reach out to the AP-S YP Committee Chair, C.J. Reddy (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.), if you have suggestions and questions.
