How has IEEE helped you in your career journey?

From day one of my university journey, IEEE opened doors to connections with industry leaders and speakers that I wouldn’t have had access to otherwise. Those relationships evolved into invaluable mentorships and guidance, shaping my career and sparking new ideas along the way. When I moved to the U.S. for my Master’s, IEEE became a community I could rely on—it supported me in job searches within its network, sharpened my soft skills and ultimately played a role in helping me secure my first job.

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

Physical AI holds significant potential. I think we’re heading toward a future where robots and smart devices become an everyday part of our lives, moving AI beyond just conversational interfaces and into tangible, real-world applications. There’s bound to be considerable change and disruption along the way, but it feels like we’re approaching a particularly exciting turning point.
