Traditional propagation models, including empirical and deterministic approaches, often fall short in capturing these phenomena with the precision and efficiency required for emerging communication technologies, such as 5G and beyond. In this talk, a cutting-edge, machine learning-enabled framework designed to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of propagation model will be presented. This approach utilizes large-scale datasets derived from realistic simulations, together with advanced machine learning techniques, to train models capable of adapting to the complexities of diverse environments, offering a significant improvement in terms of flexibility, prediction accuracy, and computational efficiency. By demonstrating what is possible in indoor radio wave propagation modeling, this presentation aims to provide a forward-looking perspective on how machine learning-driven innovations will revolutionize wireless network design, paving the way for more resilient, adaptive, and high-performance communication systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Speaker:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Sen LIU (Member, IEEE) received the B.E. degree from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, China, in 2015, the M.E. degree from Waseda University, Kitakyushu, Japan, in 2017, and the Ph.D. degree from Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan, in 2020.

RIS leverages programmable metasurfaces composed of sub-wavelength reflective elements to dynamically manipulate the amplitude, phase, and polarization of incident waves. This capability supports diverse applications in 6G scenarios, including high-speed data transmission, real-time health monitoring, and indoor localisation. In communication, RIS improves energy efficiency and signal coverage, particularly in Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) environments. It achieves efficient beamforming with minimal power consumption and low hardware complexity. For sensing applications, RIS enables high-accuracy vital sign detection, including real-time heartbeat and respiration monitoring in NLoS conditions, overcoming limitations of conventional RF sensing technologies. For localisation, RIS enhances the performance of machine-learning-based indoor positioning systems by reshaping radio wave propagation and reducing multipath fading effects. The technology supports both active and passive localisation methods, making it ideal for complex, dynamic environments. RIS holds immense potential in integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems, paving the way for innovative solutions in smart homes, healthcare, and urban environments. By addressing challenges such as NLoS coverage, hardware constraints, and energy efficiency, RIS is poised to play a critical role in realising the vision of ubiquitous, intelligent, and sustainable wireless networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Speaker:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Qammer H.

Judiciously designed metamaterials and metasurfaces can be utilized to structure and sculpt light and achieve unconventional light-matter interaction with unprecedented functionalities. The extreme properties of such metamaterials provide novel opportunities in optics and photonics. One category of extreme metastructures is materials that function as analog computing machines when waves interact with them, providing the capability to perform mathematical operations, solve equations (such as integral and differential equations), invert matrices, and conduct vector-matrix multiplication with the near speed of light. Another class of extreme platform for light-matter interaction is four-dimensional (4D) metamaterials, in which the material parameters can rapidly vary with time in addition to their variation in space while waves are propagating in them. These 4D material structures provide additional degrees of freedom for light-matter interaction. The third category includes materials with near-zero refractive indices. Such near-zero-index structures provide unprecedented mechanisms for light-matter interaction with unconventional features and exciting properties. In this talk, I will give an overview of some of the phenomena we have introduced and explored with extreme metastructures. I will discuss their salient features and forecast future possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Speaker:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nader ENGHETA is the H.

In the last years, there has been a strong interest in the investigation of the possibilities offered by MTSs in the design of innovative antenna systems. In this framework, MTSs have been recently proposed as a powerful platform to implement functional covers and superstrates able to improve the performance of existing antennas and\/or provide novel and integrated functionalities. In particular, purely-electric MTSs can be used to massively reduce the scattering signature of linear antennas, to overcome mutual blockage effects and coupling between close radiators, or to change their resonance frequency. Similarly, magneto-electric MTSs may be used to tailor the radiation diagram of dipole antennas, transforming the original omnidirectional radiation diagram into a single- or multi-beam pattern. The addition of electronic circuits within the metasurface unit cell, such as PIN diodes, varactors, or more complex LC circuits, enables achieving power- and waveform-selective features, which can be exploited in a wide range of practical scenarios, including telecommunication, passive radar, sensing, and space communication. Finally, the use of an external biasing network lays the foundation for introducing dynamic reconfiguration and cognitive features in modern antenna systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this talk, I will show how MTSs allow conceiving and implementing a new generation of intelligent and cognitive antennas \u201cfeeling\u201d the environment and adjusting their operation accordingly. Particular emphasis is placed on the physical interpretations of the effects arising from the interaction of antenna systems with metasurfaces, as well as on the definition of effective design schemes for the different applications. It is shown how such MTS-based smart antennas, also referred to as smart antennas 2.0, are promising candidates for beyond-5G systems, where the use of mm-waves introduces significant challenges due to their strong sensitivity to the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Speaker:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ALESSIO MONTI (S\u201912\u2013M\u201915\u2013SM\u201919) was born in Rome, Italy.

It is shown that the use of a horn antenna enables to irradiate the superficial layer of soils and so to eliminate harmful bio-agents within a fixed depth. The soil is approximated using a transmission line model. Considering the dielectric constant of the ground as a function of the soil water content, it was possible to evaluate the power absorbed by the irradiated ground and the temperature increase and its profile depending on the irradiation time. Since the latter information is strictly connected to the heat transfer process occurring in the system, we demonstrate the feasibility of the methodology to achieve difficult conditions for microbial and pathogens life, leading to an effective disinfection of the treated farmland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Speaker:<\/strong><br>Giuseppe Mazzarella (Senior Member, IEEE) graduated (summa with laude) in electronic engineering and the Ph.D. degree in electronic engineering and computer science from the Universit\u00e0 Federico II of Naples, Naples, Italy, in 1984 and 1989, respectively.

In particular, rotational symmetries have been presented as \u201cself-dual\u201d systems with rotations of 90 deg. In this seminar, I will endeavor to show a new general framework for both types of symmetries, casting the rotational symmetry in terms of a new P\u00b7T\u00b7D type symmetry. Out of this analysis, a third option emerges; namely, a combined P\u00b7T\u00b7D\/R\u00b7T\u00b7D symmetry condition, which is more general, allowing for arbitrary angles of rotation. With this option, the door opens for synthesis of many new non-reflecting media, as will be demonstrated by some examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Speaker:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raphael Kastner (Life Fellow, IEEE) was born in Haifa, Israel, in 1948.

As these devices become increasingly sophisticated, high-fidelity numerical modeling methods are becoming vital tools to continue improving system performance. However, existing design tools are in their infancy and often very computationally inefficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this talk, we will introduce a novel field-based description of superconducting circuit quantum devices, useful for developing intuitive, efficient, and high-fidelity numerical models.

Additionally, we will explore how the formalism can integrate domain decomposition concepts with numerical mode decomposition methods to analyze complex devices more effectively. Finally, we will discuss self-consistent semiclassical modeling approaches for superconducting circuit quantum devices that treat microwave fields classically and qubits quantum mechanically, showing how these methods can efficiently characterize the fidelity of state control and readout for transmon and fluxonium qubits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This comprehensive approach addresses existing inefficiencies and provides a robust framework for advancing the design and analysis of superconducting quantum devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Speaker:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thomas ROTH is an Assistant Professor in the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

These representations should capture intermediate concepts, features, or latent variables, and are commonly learned in a supervised way using large annotated datasets. However, this approach has crucial limitations, such as the cost and time required to collect large amounts of annotated examples and the biased representations towards the considered problem, hindering their exportability to other problems and applications. Unsupervised learning offers a potential solution by attempting to extract knowledge from unlabeled data and discovering representations that capture the underlying structure of such data. Self-supervised learning, a subfield of unsupervised learning, is rapidly revolutionizing computer vision, NLP, and speech processing fields. In this talk, I will review recent progress in self-supervised learning, particularly in the sequence processing domain.

However, how to fabricate a conductive pattern on undevelopable surface is still an open problem. Ink\u2010jet printing with metal nanoparticles is considered as an attractive method for the direct fabrication of a conductive pattern, with low\u2010cost, low\u2010waste, and simple process. This talk presents a novel integrated printing and sintering technique for fabricating a conductive pattern on undevelopable surface. Firstly, a reduced dimension patch printing method is proposed, which uses a series of patches to approximate the undevelopable surface. These patches were rotated to the horizontal plane through the five\u2010axis motion system for printing and sintering, so that the surface printing gets converted to two\u2010dimensional printing. Secondly, a linear time\u2010varying system equivalent circuit model for piezoelectric print\u2010head (PPH) is built for analyzing the droplets dynamics. Based on that, an adaptive firing control is put forwarded, with the pressure wave self\u2010sensing technique of a PPH, to improve printing accuracy and expand the applicability of materials. Finally, photon sintering with power control is proposed to improve the electrical conductivity of conductive patterns. Experimental results show the effectiveness of those proposed method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Speaker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eledia.org\/eledia-unitn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Huang.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3166\" width=\"162\" height=\"176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eledia.org\/eledia-unitn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Huang.jpg 369w, https:\/\/www.eledia.org\/eledia-unitn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Huang-275x300.jpg 275w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 162px) 100vw, 162px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Prof. Jin Huang received his Ph.D in mechanical engineering from Xidian University, Xi\u2019an, China, in 1999.

Two\u2010way antenna patterns result from the product of the transmit array pattern times the receive array pattern. Radars often have sidelobe specifications for the two\u2010way pattern. The traditional approach to synthesizing a two\u2010way pattern is to prescribe low sidelobe tapers for the transmit and receive patterns then assume that the peak two\u2010way pattern sidelobe level equals the peak transmit pattern sidelobe level time the peak receive pattern sidelobe level. This talk presents several approaches to directly synthesize two\u2010way array factors.

Nevertheless, due to the intrinsic ill-posedness and non-linearity, the conventional computational methods are rather inefficient, especially when handling problems with low-quality data or with strong wave\/fields interactions. In this talk, we will mainly discuss our lately contributions in computational methods for ISPs, with special emphases on the inversion-friendly modelling that can effectively handle these two major difficulties in ISPs. To tackle the ill-posedness, we impose proper constraints in the numerical models, leading to a new type of modelling-based regularization methods. For non linearity, novel numerical models are derived from the fundamental physical models so as to cope with the highly nonlinear problems that the fundamental models cannot handle. Merging the efforts of physical modelling, signal processing and mathematical analysis, we will show the efficiency of solving the ISPs can be substantially increased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Speaker<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eledia.org\/eledia-unitn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/zhong.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1082\" width=\"153\" height=\"204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eledia.org\/eledia-unitn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/zhong.jpg 313w, https:\/\/www.eledia.org\/eledia-unitn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/zhong-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 153px) 100vw, 153px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. ZHONG Yu received the B.E. and M.E. degrees in electronic engineering from Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, in 2003 and 2006, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from the National University of Singapore, Singapore, in 2010.
