My name is Natalia D’Lima and I am the new Community Manager for the Antennas & Propagation technical network.
I am new to the IET, based in the Stevenage office. I’ll confess now that I’m not an engineer; I have come from a project management background, most recently working at a market research agency in Hertfordshire.
Over the past few weeks, I have been immersing myself in the IET; it is a big company with lots of different strands, so there is a lot to learn!
As Community Manager, I will also looking after the Humber and North, West and South Yorkshire local networks, the Electromagnetics technical network and a couple of newer ones as well: Cyber Security and Internet of Things.
Everyone I’ve met so far has been so welcoming and I am looking forward to meeting all the network’s members and volunteers!
I’ve already got a lot of the events in my diary, including Antennas, Propagation & RF Technology for Transport and Autonomous Platforms in February in Birmingham and EuCAP 17 in March in Paris.
However my first foray into antennas will be LAPC at Loughborough University next week; I am looking forward to hearing the speakers and hopefully meeting many of you in person there.
For those I don’t see at LAPC, I hope to meet you in the near future!
