Abstract: Nanobubbles (NBs) are promising ultrasound contrast agents capable of enhancing both vascular and extravascular imaging. Their spatially uniform scattering under repeated exposure enables consistent and durable enhancement. This study evaluates NB-enhanced ultrasound using compound amplitude modulation (cAM) and plane-wave imaging (PWI) on the Vevo F2 system (Fujifilm VisualSonics Inc.) in both phantoms and in vivo mice. Phospholipid-shelled NBs (~250 nm) were tested in phantoms (~10⁹ NBs/mL) and in mouse kidneys (~10¹¹ NBs/mL). While cAM was sufficient in phantoms, it was inadequate in vivo due to breathing motion and incomplete tissue suppression. To address this limitation, a new PWI-based methodology was developed for NB-enhanced imaging, integrating high-frame-rate acquisition and advanced signal processing to achieve robust vascular visualization without amplitude modulation or pulse inversion. This approach establishes a practical framework for NB-enhanced vascular ultrasound imaging and demonstrates strong potential for preclinical and clinical translation. 350 Victoria Street, Toronto Metropolitan University, Room: KHE321C, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5B 2K3

Join us for the fifth session of the exciting webinar series on "New Frontiers in Signal Processing in 6G Wireless Networks", a collaboration between IEEE Signal Processing, IEEE Communications Society chapters in Ottawa, and IEEE ComSoC Young Professionals. Register now and stay tuned for updates on upcoming speakers and topics! Speaker(s): Prof. Hina Tabassum Agenda: The next generation of wireless networks will no longer be confined to moving bits — they will sense, communicate, and learn simultaneously. This convergence is anticipated to enable distributed intelligence across devices, unlocking new capabilities for real-time perception and decision-making in dynamic environments. In this talk, two complementary advances in federated signal processing will be presented. First, an over-the-air federated edge learning (OTA-FEEL) framework with integrated radar sensing will be discussed. By leveraging echoes from the environment, rather than treating them solely as interference, robust model aggregation will be maintained while ensuring high-quality sensing and communication performance. A joint scheduling and beamforming design will be presented, supported by low-complexity optimization techniques, to preserve aggregation accuracy under realistic wireless conditions. Second, FedTrack, a novel federated learning–inspired algorithm for distributed target tracking, will be presented. By treating local log-likelihood functions as loss functions in a distributed optimization framework, FedTrack enables devices to collaboratively estimate a moving target’s position and velocity. This communication-efficient method closely approximates centralized maximum likelihood estimation, achieving accuracy near the Cramér–Rao bound while reducing reliance on a central coordinator. Together, these developments illustrate how federated intelligence over the air can transform 6G networks into systems that not only communicate but also sense and learn collaboratively. Implications for autonomous systems, smart cities, and beyond will be discussed, with emphasis on the central role of signal processing innovations in realizing this vision.

The IEEE NSS IAS/PES Joint Chapter is pleased to welcome Professo Ramakrishna (Rama) Gokaraju . This talk by Prof. Rama will focus on advanced protection and stability solutions for modern power grids under increasing load and infrastructure constraints. The first part introduces a high-speed digital relaying scheme for EHV/UHV transmission systems (345 kV and above) capable of half-cycle operation. The second part presents a real-time transient stability prediction and remedial action scheme (RAS) using intentional islanding to prevent large-scale blackouts and transient overvoltages in renewable systems. The proposed approach integrates “when” and “where” islanding decisions through IEC 61850 R-GOOSE communication and graph theory, enabling faster, smarter, and more coordinated system protection.

Keeping the lights on has become increasingly complex with more power transmitted over existing infrastructure. In this talk, Professor Ramakrishna (Rama) Gokaraju will discuss high‑speed digital relaying schemes for EHV/UHV transmission systems with half‑cycle operating times, real‑time transient stability prediction methods for large grids, and remedial action schemes applying intentional islanding to prevent large‑scale blackouts and mitigate transient overvoltages on renewable energy systems. The proposed controlled islanding approach combines a straightforward "when to island" decision using IEC 61850 R‑GOOSE status flags with a "where to island" strategy based on graph theory.
