Welcome to 2024

Welcome to 2024 and the first issue of the year for IEEE Microwave Magazine. Since it's January, besides welcoming in the New Year, we should also welcome our new MTT-S president, Maurizio Bozzi, from the University of Pavia in Pavia, Italy. As is our tradition, Maurizio will be providing his thoughts in each issue on the various activities of the Society as well as highlighting the various roles of our Society volunteers. This month, we have his first "President's Column" column [A1], where Maurizio provides a little information about his background as well as his vision for the direction of the Society in 2024. Maurizio provides a clear and detailed road map of the Society's direction, and I highly recommend that you check out his column as one of your first reads this month.
