What advice would you give to young technologists on how to get the most out of the IEEE membership experience?

Don’t just be a member. Get involved behind the scenes as early as you can. For young professionals, building a global network is one of the most powerful things you can do. IEEE provides an ecosystem that accelerates both technical and personal growth. It is a space for continuous development where you get access to direct mentorship from world-class experts, leadership training by managing global committees and technical programs that bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world impact.

What’s the hottest technology in the next 10 years?

Verified autonomy and cooperative multi-robot systems. As robots move from controlled lab settings to complex, dynamic environments, ensuring they can communicate, coordinate safely as a fleet and perform reliable autonomous tasks will change the industry completely.
