SUMMARY:Automotive Radar – A Signal Processing Perspective on Current Technology and Future Systems
DESCRIPTION:Thursday March 5th\, 2020 at 4:00 p.m. Dr. Markus Gardill\, IEEE Distinguished Microwave Lecturer\, will be presenting an IEEE Distinguished Lecture “Automotive Radar – A Signal Processing Perspective on Current Technology and Future Systems”. \nDay & Time: Thursday March 5th\, 2020\n4:00 p.m. ‐ 5:00 p.m. \nSpeaker: Dr. Markus Gardill\nIEEE Distinguished Microwave Lecturer \nOrganizers: IEEE Toronto Electromagnetics & Radiation Chapter \nLocation: Bahen Centre\, Room BA 1180\nUniversity of Toronto – St. George Campus\n40 St George St\, Toronto\, ON M5S 2E4 \nContact: George V. Eleftheriades\, FRSC\, FIEEE \nAbstract: Radar systems are a key technology of modern vehicle safety & comfort systems. Without doubt it will only be the symbiosis of Radar\, Lidar and camera-based sensor systems which can enable advanced autonomous driving functions soon. Several next generation car models are such announced to have up to 10 radar sensors per vehicle\, allowing for the generation of a radar-based 360° surround view necessary for advanced driver assistance as well as semi-autonomous operation. Hence the demand from the automotive industry for high-precision\, multi-functional radar systems is higher than ever before\, and the increased requirements on functionality and sensor capabilities lead to research and development activities in the field of automotive radar systems in both industry and academic worlds. \nCurrent automotive radar technology is almost exclusively based on the principle of frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar\, which has been well known for several decades. However\, together with an increase of hardware capabilities such as higher carrier frequencies\, modulation bandwidths and ramp slopes\, as well as a scaling up of simultaneously utilized transmit and receive channels with independent modulation features\, new degrees of freedom have been added to traditional FMCW radar system design and signal processing. The anticipated presentation will accordingly introduce the topic with a review on the fundamentals of radar and FMCW radar. After introducing the system architecture of traditional and modern automotive FMCW radar sensors\, with e.g. insights into the concepts of distributed or centralized processing and sensor data fusion\, the presentation will dive into the details of fast-chirp FMCW processing – the modulation mode which is used by the vast majority of current automotive FMCW radar systems. Starting with the fundamentals of target range and velocity estimation based on the radar data matrix\, the spatial dimension available using modern single-input multiple-output (SIMO) and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems will be introduced and radar processing based on the radar data cube is discussed. Of interest is the topic of angular resolution – one of the key drawbacks which e.g. render Lidar systems superior to radar in some situations. Consequently\, traditional and modern methods for direction of arrival estimation in FMCW radar systems are presented\, starting from traditional monopulse-like algorithms to modern frameworks for superresolution DoA estimation. The presentation will then introduce the great challenge of FMCW radar system interference. While FMCW radar interference is a challenge which can be handled using adaptive signal processing in today’s systems\, it will become a severe problem with the increasing number of radar-sensors equipped vehicles in dense traffic situations in the near future and a solution to the expected increase in interference is still an open question. \nIt is this problem of interference\, together with some added functionality\, which motivated the proposal of alternative radar waveforms such as pseudo-random or orthogonal-frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) radar for automotive radar systems. Although not yet of great interest from an industrial perspective\, the fundamentals and capabilities of both technologies will be introduced in the remainder of the anticipated presentation. \nBiography:\nMarkus Gardill (S’11-M’15) was born in Bamberg\, Germany in 1985. \nHe received the Dipl.-Ing. and Dr.-Ing. degree in systems of information and multimedia technology/electrical engineering from the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg\, Germany\, in 2010 and 2015\, respectively. \nIn 2010\, he joined the Institute for Electronics Engineering at the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nürnberg as a research assistant and teaching fellow. \nFrom 2014 to 2015 he was head of the team Radio Communication Technology. \nIn late 2015 he joined the Robert Bosch GmbH as an R&D engineer for optical and imaging metrology systems and leading the cluster of non-destructive testing for the international production network.\nIn 2016 he joined the automotive radar business segment of InnoSenT GmbH\, where he is currently head of the group radar signal processing & tracking. \nHis main research interest include radar and communication systems\, antenna (array) design\, and signal processing algorithms. His particular interest is spatio-temporal processing such as e.g. beamforming and direction-of-arrival estimation with a focus on combining the worlds of signal processing and microwave/electromagnetics. \nDr. Gardill is an IEEE Young Professional. He is member of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (IEEE MTT-S) and currently serves as co-chair of the IEEE MTT-S Technical Committee Digital Signal Processing (MTT-9).\nHe regularly acts as reviewer and TPRC member for several journals and conferences\, will act as associate editor of the Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques beginning with 2020 and serves as Distinguished Microwave Lecturer (DML) for the DML term 2018-2020 with a presentation focussing automotive radar systems.

SUMMARY:Wireless Positioning and Sensing Network (WPSN™) for Hyper-Accurate Indoor & Outdoor Location Tracking System with Applications in the Critical and Massive IoT
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday October 8th\, 2019 at 3:00 p.m. Peyman Moeini\, B. Eng.\, MASc\, PMP\, P.Eng.\, will be presenting “Wireless Positioning and Sensing Network (WPSN™) for Hyper-Accurate Indoor & Outdoor Location Tracking System with Applications in the Critical and Massive IoT”. \nDay & Time: Tuesday\, October 8\, 2019\n3:00 p.m. ‐ 4:00 p.m. \nSpeaker: Peyman Moeini\, B. Eng.\, MASc\, PMP\, P.Eng.\nFounder and CEO of Peytec \nOrganizers: IEEE Toronto Instrumentation & Measurement Chapter\, Women in Engineering \nLocation: Progress Campus\n941 Progress Ave\, Scarborough\, ON M1G 3T8\nRoom L1-12 \nContact: Dr. Maryam Davoudpour \nAbstract: Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN’s) are the building blocks of Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Industrial IoT in the physical layer; however\, they lack a fundamental aspect; WSN’s are not designed to be located. There has been several research papers published that addresses the addition of localization capability in various Wireless Sensor Networks such as Zigbee\, BLE’s\, LoRa modules\, and NB-IoT. In virtually all of the mentioned networks\, by adding the localization capability other network and tags advantages such as latency\, battery life\, scalability\, and reliability will be negatively affected; in addition\, the localization accuracy obtained would vary significantly depending on the sample rate and method of localization. Most localization methodologies used to locate the position of a moving tag with the mentioned WSN’s utilize Received Signal Strength (RSSI) which is a range free methodology which often has poor localization accuracy and it is not repeatable nor reliable. To address this problem a groundbreaking Wireless Positioning and Sensing Network (WPSN™) is designed developed where not only a localization accuracy of 10 cm is maintained but also latency\, reliability\, scalability\, and battery life of the tags are not sacrificed to maintain and sustain the 10 cm localization accuracy. \nBiography:\nPeyman Moeini\, B. Eng.\, MASc\, PMP\, P.Eng.\, is an entrepreneur engineer who has launched several successful Internet of Things (IoT) & Artificial Intelligence (AI) products in various fields such as agriculture\, manufacturing\, logistics\, freight\, retail\, and mining. He has won more than 30 innovation and entrepreneurship awards in the IoT&AI fields. Peyman has extensive knowledge and experience in the IoT&AI spaces. Through his career\, Peyman has developed an AI algorithm that made the time efficiency of software 500 times faster for the exact same results! He holds several patents in this space and is the founder and CEO of Peytec\, a Smart Industrial IoT&AI company that builds and sells hyper-accurate “Indoor GPS” and Sensing Systems. Through his initiatives\, Peyman is on a mission to help make Canada be the global leader in IoT&AI space.

SUMMARY:Analog Photonic Systems: Features & Techniques to Optimize Performance
DESCRIPTION:Monday October 7th\, 2019 at 4:30 p.m. Dr. Edward Ackerman\, Vice President of R&D for Photonic Systems and IEEE Fellow\, will be presenting “Analog Photonic Systems: Features & Techniques to Optimize Performance”. \nDay & Time: Monday October 7th\, 2019\n4:30 p.m. ‐ 5:30 p.m. \nSpeaker: Dr. Edward Ackerman\nVice President of R&D for Photonic Systems\, Inc. of Billerica\, Massachusetts\nIEEE Fellow \nOrganizers: IEEE Toronto Electromagnetics & Radiation Chapter \nLocation: Sidney Smith Hall – Room SS 2108\nUniversity of Toronto – St. George Campus\n100 St George St\, Toronto\, ON M5S 3G3 \nContact: George V. Eleftheriades\, FRSC\, FIEEE \nAbstract: Both the scientific and the defense communities wish to receive and process information occupying ever-wider portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. This can often create an analog-to-digital conversion “bottleneck”. Analog photonic channelization\, linearization\, and frequency conversion systems can be designed to alleviate this bottleneck. Moreover\, the low loss and dispersion of optical fiber and integrated optical waveguides enable most of the components in a broadband sensing or communication system\, including all of the analog-to-digital and digital processing hardware\, to be situated many feet or even miles from the antennas or other sensors with almost no performance penalty. The anticipated presentation will highlight the advantages and other features of analog photonic systems (including some specific systems that the author has constructed and tested for the US Department of Defense)\, and will review and explain multiple techniques for optimizing their performance. \nBiography:\nEdward Ackerman received Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Drexel University in 1994. From 1989 through 1994 he was employed as a microwave photonics engineer at Martin Marietta’s Electronics Laboratory in Syracuse\, New York.

SUMMARY:Opportunities\, Challenges and Implementations of Silicon Integration and Packaging in mmWave Radar and Communication Applications
DESCRIPTION:Friday August 9th\, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. Dr. Xiaoxiong Gu\, Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE EMC Society\, will be presenting “Opportunities\, Challenges and Implementations of Silicon Integration and Packaging in mmWave Radar and Communication Applications”. \nDay & Time: Friday August 9th\, 2019\n10:00 a.m. ‐ 11:00 a.m. \nSpeaker: Dr. Xiaoxiong Gu (IBM)\nDistinguished Lecturer of the IEEE EMC Society \nOrganizers: IEEE Toronto Electromagnetics & Radiation Chapter\, IEEE EMC Society \nLocation: Room BA 1200\nBahen Centre for Information Technology\n40 St George St\, Toronto\, ON M5S 2E4 \nContact: Prof. Piero Triverio \nAbstract: Co-design and integration of RFIC\, package\, and antennas are critical to enable multiple aspects of 5G communications (backhaul\, last mile\, mobile access) and are particularly challenging at mmWave frequencies. This talk will cover various important aspects of mmWave antenna module packaging and integration for base station\, backhaul\, and user equipment applications\, respectively. We will first present a historical perspective on Si-based mmWave modules and approaches for antenna and IC integration including trade-offs. We will focus on the challenges\, implementation\, and characterization of a 28-GHz phased-array module with 64 dual polarized antennas for 5G base station applications. We will then introduce a software-defined phased array radio based on the 28-GHz hardware. The highly re-configurable phased array radio features beam shaping/steering control as well as data TX/RX function control from a single Python-based software interface. Second\, we will present a W-band phased-array module with 64-element dual-polarization antennas for radar imaging and backhaul application. The module consists of a multilayer organic chip-carrier package and a 16-element phased-array TX IC or a 32-element RX IC chipset. Third\, we will describe a compact\, low-power\, 60-GHz switched-beam transceiver module suitable for handset integration incorporating 4 antennas that supports both normal and end-fire directions for a wide link spatial coverage. \nBiography: Xiaoxiong Gu received the Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Washington\, Seattle\, USA\, in 2006. He joined IBM Research as a Research Staff Member in January 2007. His research activities are focused on 5G radio access technologies\, optoelectronic and mm-wave packaging\, electrical designs\, modeling and characterization of communication\, imaging radar and computation systems. He has recently worked on antenna-in-package design and integration for mm-wave imaging and communication systems including Ka-band\, V-band and W-band phased-array modules. He has also worked on 3D electrical packaging and signal/power integrity analysis for high-speed I/O subsystems including on-chip and off-chip interconnects. He has been involved in developing novel TSV and interposer technologies for heterogeneous system integration. \nDr. Gu has co-authored over 80 peer-reviewed publications and holds 9 issued patents.

SUMMARY:MIMO Signalling: Knowing the Classics Can Make a Difference
DESCRIPTION:Thursday June 6th\, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. Prof. Wing-Kin (Ken) Ma\, Chinese University of Hong Kong\, will be presenting an IEEE Signal Processing Society Distinguished Lecture “MIMO Signalling: Knowing the Classics Can Make a Difference”. \nDay & Time: Thursday June 6th\, 2019\n10:00 a.m. ‐ 11:00 a.m. \nSpeaker: Prof. Wing-Kin (Ken) Ma\nChinese University of Hong Kong \nOrganizers: IEEE Signal Processing Chapter Toronto Section\nIEEE Communications Chapter Toronto Section \nLocation: Room BA-2135\, University of Toronto\nhttp://map.utoronto.ca/building/080 \nContact: Mehrnaz Shokrollahi\, Yashodhan Athavale\, Michael Zara\, \nAbstract: In this talk the speaker will share two stories of how his research was benefitted by learning from the basics. The first story concerns physical-layer multicasting\, a topic that has been dominated bybeamforming and optimization techniques. We will see how the classical concept of using channel coding to fight fast fading effects gives spark to rethink multicasting\, and how that leads to a stochastic beamforming approach that goes beyond what beamforming achieves. The second story considers one-bit massive MIMO precoding\, an emerging and challengingtopic. Current research on this topic mostly focuses on optimization\, often in a sophisticated\, if not complicated\, manner. We will see how the traditional idea of Sigma-Delta modulation for DAC of temporal signals can be transferred to the spatial case\, leading to one-bit massive MIMO precoding solutions that are simple and have quantization error well under control. \nBiography: Wing-Kin (Ken) Ma is a Professor with the Department of Electronic Engineering\, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. His research interests lie in signal processing\, optimization and communications. His mostrecent research focuses on two distinct topics\, namely\, structured matrix factorization for data science and remote sensing\, and MIMO transceiver design and optimization. Dr. Ma is active in the Signal Processing Society. He served as editors of several journals\, e.g.\,Senior Area Editor of IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing\, Lead Guest Editor of a special issue in IEEE Signal Processing Magazine\, to name a few. He is currently a member of the Signal Processing for Communications and Networking (SPCOM) Technical Committee. He received Research Excellence Award 2013– 2014 by CUHK\, the 2015 IEEE Signal Processing Magazine Best Paper Award\, the 2016 IEEE Signal Processing Letters Best Paper Award\, and the 2018 IEEE Signal Processing Best Paper Award. He is an IEEE Fellow and is currently an IEEE SPS Distinguished Lecturer.

DESCRIPTION:Friday May 24th\, 2019 at 12:15 p.m. Prof. Zahra Moussavi\, Director of the Biomedical Engineering Program at University of Manitoba and Canada Research Chair\, will be presenting “Assessment of Egocentric Spatial Orientation using Virtual Reality for Diagnosis and Monitoring Alzheimer’s Disease”. \nDay & Time: Friday May 24th\, 2019\n12:15 p.m. ‐ 1:15 p.m. \nSpeaker: Zahra Moussavi\nDirector of the Biomedical Engineering Program\nProfessor & Canada Research Chair\nDepartment of Electrical & Computer Engineering\nUniversity of Manitoba \nOrganizers: IEEE Toronto WIE\, IEEE Toronto\, IEEE Toronto Engineering in Medicine and Biology Chapter\, UHN \nLocation: TRI-UC\, Basement Lecture Theatre\n550 University Ave.\, Toronto\, M5G 2A2 \nGoToMeeting: https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/543203653 \nContact: Dr. Maryam Davoudpour \nAbstract: Memory and cognitive declines are associated with normal brain aging but are also precursors to dementia\, in particular the so called the pandemic of the century\, Alzheimer’s disease. While currently there is no cure or “vaccine” against dementia\, based on brain’s plasticity\, there are hopes to delay the onset or to slow the progression of disease. \nAlzheimer’s disease is multi-facet condition; thus\, the key to its management is in multi- disciplinary approaches. The clinical diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders\, in general\, is based on an extensive evaluation of cognition and behavioral performance along with functional status\, which provides a variable grade of accuracy especially at early stages of the disease. In this talk\, I will review diagnostic objective methods that can assist Alzheimer’s diagnosis. In particular\, I will elaborate on the application and research outcomes of virtual reality egocentric spatial assessment for and its potentials for a differential diagnosis of Alzheimer’s versus other types of dementia. \nBiography: Zahra Moussavi is a professor\, a Canada Research Chair\, and the founder and director of Biomedical Engineering Graduate Program at University of Manitoba. Her current research focuses are on medical devices instrumentation and signal analysis for sleep apnea management and Alzheimer’s diagnosis and treatment using virtual reality\, rTMS and EVestG technologies. She is the recipient of several awards including the “Canada’s Most Powerful Women (Top 100)” and “Manitoba Distinguished Women” in 2014 and IEEE EMBS Distinguished Lecturer\, 2014 and 2019. She has published more than 259 peer-reviewed papers in journals and conferences\, and has given 94 invited talks/seminars including 2 Tedx Talks and 9 keynote speaker seminars at national and international conferences. Aside from academic work\, on her spare time\, she writes science articles for public; also has developed and offered memory fitness programs for aging population. \nPoster Link: Click here

SUMMARY:Security in SDN/NFV and 5G Networks-Opportunities and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Monday April 1st\, 2019 at 3:00 p.m. Dr. Ashutosh Dutta\, Director\, Industry Outreach-IEEE Communications Society\, will be presenting an IEEE ComSoc distinguished lecture “Security in SDN/NFV and 5G Networks-Opportunities and Challenges”. \nDay & Time: Monday April 1st\, 2019\n3:00 p.m. ‐ 4:00 p.m. \nSpeaker: Dr. Ashutosh Dutta\, Director\, Industry Outreach-IEEE Communications Society\, IEEE 5G Initiative Founding Co-Chair and Senior Scientist JHU/APL (Johns Hopkins University/Applied Physics Lab) \nOrganizers: IEEE Toronto ComSoc \nLocation: Room Number: BA 4287\n40 St George St\, Toronto\, ON M5S 2E4 \nContact: Eman Hammad \nAbstract: Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) are the key pillars of future networks\, including 5G and Beyond that promise to support emerging applications such as enhanced mobile broadband\, ultra low latency\, massive sensing type applications while providing the resiliency in the network. Service providers and other verticals (e.g.\, Connected Cars\, IOT\, eHealth) can leverage SDN/NFV to provide flexible and cost-effective service without compromising the end user quality of service (QoS). While NFV and SDN open up the door for flexible networks and rapid service creation\, these offer both security opportunities while also introducing additional challenges and complexities\, in some cases. With the rapid proliferation of 4G and 5G networks\, operators have now started the trial deployment of network function virtualization\, especially with the introduction of various virtualized network elements in the access and core networks. These include elements such as virtualized Evolved Packet Core (vEPC)\, virtualized IP Multimedia Services (vIMS)\, Virtualized Residential Gateway\, and Virtualized Next Generation Firewalls. However\, very little attention has been given to the security aspects of virtualization. While several standardization bodies (e.g.\, ETSI\, 3GPP\, NGMN\, ATIS\, TIA) have started looking into the many security issues introduced by SDN/NFV\, additional work is needed with larger security community involvement including vendors\, operators\, universities\, and regulators. This tutorial will address evolution of cellular technologies towards 5G but will largely focus on various security challenges and opportunities introduced by SDN/NFV and 5G networks such as Hypervisor\, Virtual Network Functions (VNFs)\, SDN Controller\, Orchestrator\, Network slicing\, Cloud RAN\, and security function virtualization. This tutorial will also highlight some of the ongoing activities within various standards communities and will illustrate a few deployment use case scenarios for security including threat taxonomy for both operator and enterprise networks. In addition\, I will also describe some of the ongoing activities within IEEE Future Network initiative including roadmap efforts and various ways one can get involved and contribute to this initiative. \nBiography: Ashutosh Dutta is currently Senior Wireless Communication Systems Research Scientist and JHU/APL Sabbatical Fellow at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Labs (JHU/APL)\, USA. Most recently he served as Principal Member of Technical Staff at AT&T Labs in Middletown\, New Jersey.
