Please join us for an upcoming talk on Dec 03, 4-5 pm (Eastern Time) by Mohammad Abdolrazzaghi titled "Advances in Microwave Planar Sensors Using Active Circuitry", as part of the 2020-2021 IEEE AP-S seminar series. Abstract: Nowadays, electromagnetism (EM) is being extensively investigated as a leading technology on noninvasive sensing. EM sensors make use of metallic elements, including split-ring resonators (SRRs) and complementary SRRs, to both radiate or receive EM waves. Using EM sensors to monitor changes in a medium, e.g. human body, is based on interrogation of a medium with EM waves that reveals valuable information about its properties. EM-based technologies enable compact, low-profile, yet highly sensitive sensors for cutting-edge sensors. In this talk, a variety of microwave planar sensors will be presented that exhibit high sensitivity for material characterization, focusing on high-performance sensors aided with active circuitry. Emerging technologies such as machine learning will be introduced that enhances the sensor robustness. Last, the potential capabilities of the microwave sensors in microwave and mm-wave frequencies will be discussed to conclude the talk. Speaker: Mohammad Abdolrazzaghi received the B.Sc. degree from the Iran University of Science and Technology, Tehran, Iran, in 2009, and M.Sc. degree from the University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada, in 2017, all in electrical and computer engineering. He then became involved as a research assistant of Microwave and Millimeter Wave Lab (M2M) at the University of Alberta and Electromagnetics Lead at the Phase Advanced Sensors Corp. in Edmonton, AB. He joined University of Toronto community in 2020 as a PhD student in Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. His research interest includes: Analog Circuit Design, RF Circuits and Microwave Active Sensors, Machine learning, Wireless Power Transfer, and Phased Arrays. He was awarded Alberta Innovates Technology Futures (AITF) Scholarship from University of Alberta (2015), got the first place in for CMC Microsystems’s National Research Council Industrial Collaboration Award in 2015, and Ontario Graduate Scholarship (2021).

Ieee Programming HTML and CSS workshops from Saturday 27 November to 18 December Co-sponsored by: Professor Arman Hamzehlou Kahrizi Agenda: It is a hands-on workshop aiming to introduce the basics of web design using HTML5 and CSS. In this series of workshops, we will step-by-step, create and publish a simple and responsive website to a web-hosting service and finally optimize our website for search engines (SEO) so the website is better picked up by the search engine during a search query.

Internet is the baseline for cyberspace, where technology infrastructure can be autonomous. It is a virtual space that can be accessed via different interconnected network devices. Cyber-security can be described as a set of measures that makes cyberspace safe. Identifying threats and predicting vulnerabilities in this environment are the key components of the security mechanism. The main cause of security violations is the intrusion of an attacker into the network or electronic devices. Machine learning can be used to increase the accuracy level of detection of threats to improve system efficiency and performance. In this talk, we present how machine learning can help detect and mitigate cyber threats in the systems. Speaker(s): Dr. Mizanur Rahman Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/294505

Join us to learn about the basics of the Bitcoin blockchain, how mining works, and what hashes are. The Bitcoin blockchain was the first cryptocurrency, but not the first use of blockchain; blockchain was invented much earlier than the Bitcoin creation. Both Bitcoin and blockchain topics will be covered over the course of this session. At the end of the workshop we will have a Q&A section to answer any questions.
