YOU'RE INVITED! Join the IEEE Queen's Branch in welcoming Dr. Jawad Siddiqui from the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society to speak with students about new work in antennas for the space domain, as well as the opportunities available to students through the IEEE. All students are welcome! The talk will explore the evolving role of antenna technologies in modern space applications, with a particular focus on CubeSats and rocket platforms. It will discuss key challenges such as size constraints, thermal management, deployment mechanisms, and radiation effects, as well as emerging trends in adaptive, reconfigurable, and additive-manufactured antennas designed for the space environment. The presentation will also highlight opportunities for students and professionals to engage with the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S), including the benefits of membership and participation in its SIGHT (Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology) initiatives that apply antenna and propagation technologies for societal impact. The speaker will welcome questions from the audience. The seminar will end with an interactive discussion with the speaker about opportunities for students in the IEEE. These include best practices for achieving funding awards through the IEEE, with a focus on the AP-S.

This presentation brings a common awareness about the corporate data team that most organizations are establishing as they go through their enterprise transformation and modernization journey. The corporate data team, often referred to as the Data Office, serves as a critical function responsible for managing data quality, governance, and integration across disparate source systems providing accessibility to analytics and reporting for all business departments in the organization. This case study explores the history of how organizations typically handled data in the past and how technology as well as data practices have evolved to leverage data to become a critical element for an organization’s enterprise strategy. We will examine how the data team is structured, the impact of each of the key roles (such as data engineers and data scientists), how data is governed, and the data architecture that is supported by a centralized data team. The presentation also reviews the technical and organizational challenges faced by modern corporate data teams. This session should demonstrate why organizations have had to mature their data practices to accelerate business outcomes and efficiently manage data for strategic growth.

The world is nonlinear and linked. Small-gain theory is one of the most important tools to tackle fundamentally challenging control problems for interconnected linear and nonlinear systems. In this talk, I will first review early developments in nonlinear small-gain theorems and associated nonlinear control design and show how it served as a basic tool to unify numerous results in constructive nonlinear control. Then, I will present recent developments in network/cyclic small-gain theorems for complex large-scale nonlinear systems, with a special focus on event-triggered control and feedback optimization. Finally, I will discuss briefly how machine learning techniques can be invoked to relax the conservativeness of small-gain designs, that falls into the emerging area of learning-based control, a new direction in control theory.

Abstract: Metamaterials (MTMs) are synthetic electromagnetic materials possessing unique properties not found in natural materials. Their introduction has spurred the creation of innovative circuits with enhanced components. One notable metamaterial-based design is the composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) leaky-wave antennas (LWAs). These antennas offer continuous frequency-dependent beam scanning from backfire to endfire with a true broadside beam. They also ensure excellent impedance matching throughout their operational range, using a straightforward feeding mechanism. The CRLH LWAs’ ability to map frequency to space means unknown target locations can simply be pinpointed by analyzing the spectral components of the returning wave. This paves the way for real-time detection, with data acquisition speeds mainly determined by the signal source’s frequency sweep rate. The sensor’s field-of-view is also expanded thanks to the wide scanning angle of CRLH LWAs. Such features enable applications like swift 2-D beamforming, expansive real-time remote sensing, vital sign monitoring, motion detection, and microwave imaging. Additionally, applying spatiotemporal modulation to CRLH LWAs can generate harmonic waves and enhance physical layer security, promoting safer wireless communication.

Future of communication and sensing network is being transformed with the advancement in next generations of wireless with Beyond-5G, beyond-WiFi-8, ICAS, NTN, VR/XR/Metaverse, Digital-Twin and other emerging applications. Higher quality of experiences for connected future with ubiquitous lowest latency and superhigh data rate connectivity services will require innovative wireless technologies and communication hardware combined with AI/ML. Mobile platform integrated RF systems with antenna front ends are common factor for most of the wireless applications. Emerging usage scenarios will need intelligent mobile platforms with ultra-small form-factor, requiring co-design and heterogeneous integration of dis-similar semiconductor device, circuit and antenna technologies, in order to satisfy the desired application-specific performance criteria for the evolving use cases. This presentation will present the emerging technology trends and will focus on the antenna-integrated RF to mm-wave/THz array integrated frontend opportunities and challenges demanding new technology, design, development and integration. Example architectures to enable multifunction microsystem platform will be discussed.
