This talk is designed to discuss managing your career. There are 12 important things to keep in mind when living and managing your career to achieve your goals. These will be explained and explored with examples and photographs based on my 52 years as an engineer, manager and executive managing people's careers, and 55 years as an IEEE member (IEEE Life Fellow) and IEEE-HKN member. Your career is your career and understanding your priorities (which can change) and your company's objectives can help you have a rewarding and fulfilling career.

Join us as we celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science with an evening dedicated to inspiration, connection, and community. The program features a talk by Ebonee Walker, Region 3 WiE Coordinator, spotlighting the impact of mentorship and the achievements of women across STEM. We’ll also host a Senior Member Round‑Up and offer space for IEEE members to connect, share experiences, and learn more about the benefits of IEEE Senior Membership. In addition, we’ll be kicking off a Women in Engineering membership drive to welcome new voices into the community. 1311 Johnson Ferry Rd #504, Marietta, Georgia, United States, 30068

IEEE Atlanta AP/MTT is starting a series where we present the research work done by local researchers in the Atlanta area. We are proud to have Dr. Michael Peterson from the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) present a talk titled: FulminoSat: A CubeSat Constellation to Study the Ionosphere with Multi-Modal Lightning Signals. This talk will be held at the GTRI Conference Center auditorium on February 11, 2026 (Wednesday) at 4pm EST. Light refreshments will be served during the talk. Please register to attend in-person. Talk abstract can be read below. Hope to see you there! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talk Abstract: The modern interconnected world increasingly relies on technologies that are impacted by space weather. Common modes of radio communications are susceptible to disruption from all types of solar storms that perturb the ionospheric plasma. Disturbances impact signal propagation or create communications blackout conditions in critical high-latitude regions. Our ability to monitor these disturbances is limited to land via sensor density, to serendipitous orbital alignments, or to the source of the ionospheric disturbance – X-rays, energetic electrons, or energetic protons – in the case of operational modeling. Improvements to the spatial and temporal sampling of ionospheric disturbances regardless of radiation source is needed to provide improved situational awareness of disturbances, to quantify risk and impacts to advanced technologies, and to understand basic ionospheric physics questions. We are developing the FulminoSat constellation that will use distributed multi-modal space-based sensing of signals of opportunity (lightning) to complement current sensing systems to meet these needs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is IEEE AP/MTT? In Atlanta, the local chapters for the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) and Microwave Theory and Technique Society (MTT-S) are merged to form the joint AP/MTT chapter. We are composed of members at various stages of their careers, who work and do research in various electromagnetics disciplines, like antenna design, microwave circuits, RF systems analysis, etc. We welcome any students, young professionals, researchers, and senior engineers in Atlanta to join our joint-chapter and participate in our technical and service activities.

Background: IEEE Atlanta AP/MTT recently received a grant to run RF Basic Workshops with affordable RF kits for two years. This workshop will serve as our kickoff workshop, guiding young undergraduate students through usage of vector network analyzers (VNAs) with a pre-planned hands-on activity. The world of RF is vast and stems to various technical and research fields. It is important to give young engineers early hands-on experience and exposure to basic RF concepts. Who can participate? We are looking for volunteers with basic circuits/RF/wireless comms experience to help lead groups of 4-6 students on how to use a vector network analyzer (VNA) and explain fundamental RF concepts based on our planned hands-on activity of characterizing antennas and sensing material properties. The lesson plan/guide will be provided before the activity! (This will also help the volunteers get a RF refresher themselves.) Note, the volunteer does not have to be a member of AP-S or MTT-S to participate. (Any emag/RF/wireless enthusiast is welcomed!) Where and When? Date/Time: February 25, 2026 (Wednesday, 6:00-8:30PM) Location: 777 Atlantic Dr NW, Atlanta, GA 30332 (The HIVE Makerspace in the Van Leer Building, School of ECE) Note: We are trying to arrange to have a "dry-run" for the volunteers at the ECE makerspace before the actual workshop date. More information to come! Parking Information: Visitor parking information: https://www.pts.gatech.edu/parking/visitor-parking/ Visitor Area 2 (Student Center) in the Southwest Area of Georgia Tech is the closest to the HIVE Makerspace.
