IEEE launches new Transactions on Terahertz Science and Technology in Fall 2011
Terahertz science, technology and applications have been mainstream drivers for many members of the Microwave Theory and Techniques society since the early 1970’s. Over the years there have been several special issues of the MTT Transactions as well as the IEEE Proceedings, and many IMS special sessions and workshops devoted to subtopics in this important and very interesting niche field, which has often been dubbed the last untapped region of the microwave spectrum. Over the last five years, due mainly to advances in both traditional RF and new photonics techniques for the generation and detection of THz waves, the number of researchers in this field, and the number of technical papers, has increased tenfold.
Last spring a small committee of MTT members, led by Dr. Dylan Williams, former editor-in-chief of the MTT transactions, and including Prof. Jack East, Dr. Erich Grossman, Dr. Nick Ridler, Prof. John Whitaker and Dr. Dwight Woolard, approached the MTT Publications Chair, Dr. Madhu Gupta, with a proposal for a new IEEE journal to capture and focus this growing interest in terahertz techniques and applications for the IEEE community. With the strong support of MTT President Professor Samir El-Ghazaly, a proposal for a new journal was placed before the IEEE AdCom in late 2009. This past spring, after considerable discussion and debate, the IEEE voted to approve the proposal and sanctioned the founding of a new journal devoted to the frequency range between 300 GHz and 10 THz.
The IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society is therefore extremely pleased and excited to announce the introduction of: IEEE Transactions on Terahertz Science and Technology - “Expanding the use of the Electromagnetic Spectrum” . Founding Editor-in-chief of the new journal is Dr. Peter H. Siegel with Dr. Dylan F. Williams serving as Executive Editor. The inaugural issue of the Tranactions on Terahertz Science and Technology will be produced in Fall 2011. More information about the journal can be found here.

Transactions Editor-in-Chief Delivers Talk at 2010 MIKON Conference
The Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, George E. Ponchak, delivered a talk at the 2010 MIKON Conference on how to improve your acceptance rate of papers submitted to IEEE MTT-S journals.
MIKON was held June 14-18, 2010 in Vilnius, Lithuania. MIKON has been held since 1969 as conference of the Polish microwave community. Now, for the first time, MIKON was organized outside the borders of Poland. This conference is sponsored by the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society.
IEEE Establishes Haiti Fund
Valiant efforts continue in Haiti to alleviate suffering and provide basic human needs, yet other challenges lay ahead. One of these is re-establishing engineering and technology education and professional activities in Haiti. To help meet this challenge, IEEE has established the IEEE Haiti Engineering Educational and Professional Development Rebuilding Fund. It will match donations up to the first US$50,000 contributed. IEEE continues to encourage donations to relief organizations. But we are hopeful that the generosity of members and others will add to the long-term revitalization of Haiti through this IEEE fund. Donate now.
