NTC Young Professionals Reception held at NMDC 2023

During IEEE NMDC 2023 Conference, a reception was hosted for the Young Professionals (YPs) and students which a unique gateway to the world of nanotechnology and materials science. Organized by the IEEE Nanotechnology Council (NTC), a unique Social and Networking event allowed YPs to connect, in a relaxed atmosphere, with leading experts and senior scientists, while expanding their professional network, exploring career prospects, and gaining valuable insights into IEEE and NTC.  NMDC 2023 was a remarkable opportunity for YPs and students to enhance their careers, broaden their horizons, and experience the vibrant IEEE community firsthand.

The IEEE NTC is pleased to announce the appointments of YP Chair, Matteo Lodi.

Matteo B. Lodi received the bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering from the University of Cagliari, Cagliari, in 2016, and the master’s degree in biomedical engineering from Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy, in 2018. He is currently working toward the Ph.D. degree in electronic engineering and computer science at the University of Cagliari. His research activity deals with the modeling of bioelectromagnetic phenomena, especially hyperthermia treatment; the study, manufacturing, and synthesis of magnetic biomaterials for tissue engineering applications; and the use of microwaves for biotechnology and environmental applications. He was awarded as Young Scientists at General Assembly and Scientific Symposium of URSI 2020 and 2021. He is a member of the Editorial Board of the IEEE Future Directions Technology Policy and Ethics newsletter.

The accomplishments of the NTC Young Professionals have been recognized on the IEEE-wide scale and the group has been awarded with the IEEE Young Professionals Hall of Fame for activities in 2021. The justification emphasizes that the activities and initiatives stood out from the others, and were recognized as great contributors to the young generation of engineers and scientists in the Nanotechnology Council and IEEE overall. During the evaluation, the referees recognized the exemplary vitality of the group measured in the amount and quality of organized activities. These activities have an essential impact on the Young Professional community. The jury also recognized a vibrant collaboration with other IEEE units in order to facilitate the engagement of members of all grades. Finally, the inspiring concept of the Nanotechnology Marathon has been recognized as a cherry on the top of the cake.

Congratulations to our NTC YP Team led by Rafal Sliz, for the hard work and dedication!
