Assistant Professor Mohammed Elamassie Joined Two Committees under the IEEE Communications Society and Spoke at the IEEE Future Networks Webinar

Assistant Professor Mohammed Elamassie, a faculty member at the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department and the Executive Co-Director of the Center of Excellence for Optical Wireless Communications Technologies (OKATEM) at Özyeğin University, joined the Communication Theory Technical Committee (CTTC) and Satellite and Space Communications Technical Committee (SSC). These are two technical committees under the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Communications Society (IEEE ComSoc).

Dr. Elamassie has also recently been a speaker at the webinar hosted by IEEE Future Networks in April 2025. In the webinar entitled “Towards Multi-Layered Optical Airborne Connectivity,” Dr. Elamassie provided insights on designing non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) using High-Altitude Platform Stations (HAPSs), and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and building multi-layer Free-Space Optical (FSO) airborne backhaul systems to bridge connectivity gaps.
