IEEE UTN SB volunteers will travel to the SOS Children's Villages Association, Alpachaca branch, to strengthen their community support capabilities. There, they will receive training from SOS Children's Villages staff focused on child safety and identifying potential situations of physical or psychological risk that could affect children and adolescents. Afterward, they will tour the facilities, where the volunteers, applying the knowledge acquired in their studies, will conduct a technical inspection to assess priority needs. Based on these observations, they will analyze the potential uses of the funds allocated by IEEE Human Technologies, earmarked for the acquisition of computer equipment and electrical upgrades. Finally, a detailed budget will be prepared to define the resources and equipment that must be acquired to effectively contribute to the well-being of the institution.

Microwaves are no longer confined to communication and radar—they are increasingly being harnessed to probe the human body. Their ability to safely, non-ionizing, and non-destructively penetrate biological tissues makes them powerful tools for medical diagnostics and monitoring. In recent years, near-field microwave imaging and sensing have emerged as promising techniques that blend electromagnetic theory, antenna design, and advanced signal processing with clinical relevance. This talk will explore how near-field microwave systems can “see” beyond the surface—detecting, classifying, and monitoring pathological conditions through subtle dielectric contrasts in biological tissues. At the heart of this technology lies a simple yet powerful idea: the dielectric properties of tissues change with their physiological state. By illuminating a region of interest with low-power microwaves (typically 1–15 GHz) and measuring the back-scattered signals, it is possible to reconstruct images or infer functional parameters that reveal disease-related anomalies. Such methods promise cost-effective, portable, and accessible alternatives—or complements—to existing modalities like MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and CT(computed tomography), particularly in contexts where those technologies are impractical or unavailable. After introducing the fundamentals of near-field microwave interaction with biological media and the role of antennas as both emitters and sensors, the talk will highlight several frontline applications, including brain stroke diagnosis and monitoring, and early detection of Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, using both imaging and sensing approaches. Beyond neurological disorders, microwave near-field systems are showing promise for other medical applications, including breast cancer screening, glucose monitoring, and image-guided thermal therapies. Each application demands a careful balance between electromagnetic design, imaging algorithms, and clinical usability—highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of this research field. The talk will conclude by discussing current challenges and future perspectives: the need for standardized phantoms and datasets, the integration of artificial intelligence for real-time diagnostics, and the translation of laboratory prototypes into clinically validated tools. As young engineers and scientists, we stand at the intersection of electromagnetics, data science, and medicine—fields that, when combined, hold the potential to reshape how we perceive and monitor the human body. Near-field microwave imaging exemplifies this convergence, transforming antennas and sensors into gateways for medical innovation.

In this live talk, Prof. Dr. Ruben Barros Godoy (UFMS) shares his experience in scientific missions carried out in remote and hard-to-reach regions, where engineering goes beyond the laboratory and becomes a powerful instrument for social transformation. Through sustainable and accessible technologies – such as solar pumping systems and clean-energy solutions – communities gain access to water, education, and dignity. The presentation highlights how purpose-driven engineering can create hope, inspire future engineers, and redefine the role of technology in caring for people and the environment. This session is part of the IEEE Centro-Norte Brazil Section Student Branch Meeting program and is organized by IEEE Young Professionals and the IEEE UFMS Student Branch.
