The IEEE MTT-S IIST Student Branch Chapter is organising a Distinguished Microwave Lecture by Prof. Cristiano Tomassoni, IEEE Fellow and IEEE MTT-S Distinguished Lecturer, on the topic "Additive Manufacturing: Emerging Opportunities for Microwave Components." On 15th June 2026 at 6 30 pm.

Additive manufacturing is revolutionizing the development of microwave hardware by enabling complex geometries, rapid prototyping, reduced production constraints, and enhanced performance of RF and microwave components. In this lecture, Prof. Tomassoni will discuss the latest advancements, challenges, and emerging opportunities that 3D printing technologies offer for next-generation microwave systems.

𝑨𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒓
Cristiano Tomassoni received his Ph.D. in Electronics Engineering from the University of Perugia, Perugia, Italy, in 1999. In the same year, he joined the Lehrstuhl für Hochfrequenztechnik, Technical University of Munich, Munich, Germany as a Visiting Scientist, where he worked on the modeling of waveguide structures and devices using the generalized scattering matrix technique. In 2001, he was a Guest Professor at the Fakultät für Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik, Otto-von-Guericke University, Magdeburg, Germany. In the early stages of his career, he contributed to the enhancement of several analytical and numerical methods for electromagnetic component simulation, including the finite-element method, mode-matching technique, generalized multipole technique, method of moments, transmission-line matrix, and mode matching applied to spherical waves. In 2001, he joined the University of Perugia, where he is currently an Associate Professor and teaches the ‘Electromagnetic Fields’ course and the ‘Advanced Design of Microwave and RF Systems’ course. His main research interests include modeling and designing of waveguide components and antennas, miniaturized filters, reconfigurable filters, dielectric filters, and substrate integrated waveguide filters. He is currently studying the use of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology for the fabrication of microwave components, considering various technologies such as Stereolithography (SLA), Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM), Selective Laser Melting (SLM), Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), and PolyJet technology.

Prof. Tomassoni has been elevated to the grade of IEEE Fellow, Class of 2025. He serves as the Chair of the MTT-5 Filters Technical Committee of the IEEE MTT-S. Currently, he is aDistinguished Lecturer for the IEEE MTT-S. From 2018 to 2022, he served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques. Prof. Tomassoni is also the recipient of the 2012 Microwave Prize, awarded by the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society

5th June 2026

As part of World Environment Day celebrations, Prof. Dipankar Banerjee, Vice Chancellor and Prof. Kuruvilla Joseph, Pro-Vice Chancellor, along with faculty members and students, inaugurated a mass plantation drive on the IIST campus. Recognising that academic institutions play a pivotal role in nurturing environmental stewardship, celebrating this day cultivates eco-consciousness among students and inspires sustainable habits. In support of this green initiative, the Kerala State Forest Department generously provided 1,000 saplings of various species to the institute.
