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.

SUMMARY:Assessment of Egocentric Spatial Orientation using Virtual Reality for Diagnosis and Monitoring Alzheimer’s Disease
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. His career\, spanning more than 30 years\, includes Director of Technology Security and Lead Member of Technical Staff at AT&T\, CTO of Wireless at a Cybersecurity company NIKSUN\, Inc.\, Senior Scientist in Telcordia Research\, Director of Central Research Facility at Columbia University\, adjunct faculty at NJIT\, and Computer Engineer with TATA Motors.

SUMMARY:IEEE Toronto IES Chapter Seminar “Growing Role of Electrical Machines and Drives in Electrification”
DESCRIPTION:Friday March 1st\, 2019 at 5:30 p.m. Dr. Ayman El-Refaie\, Ph.D\, FIEEE\, will be presenting an IEEE Toronto IES Chapter Seminar “Growing Role of Electrical Machines and Drives in Electrification”. \nDay & Time: Friday March 1st\, 2019\n5:30 p.m. ‐ 7:00 p.m. \nSpeaker: Dr. Ayman El-Refaie\, Ph.D\, FIEEE\nThomas and Suzanne M. Werner Endowed Chair\, Marquette University\, USA \nOrganizers: IEEE Toronto IES Chapter\, UOIT \nLocation: Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science\, Room: ERC-1092\n2000 Simcoe Street North\, Oshawa\, ON L1H 0C5 \nContact: Mohamed Youssef \nAbstract: Energy sustainability is arguably one of the most critical challenges for a sustainable future. With predictions showing future scarcity and/or higher degree of extraction difficulty of traditional sources of energy for example coal\, oil and natural gas\, the shift to sustainable clean sources of energy is a must. Another key reason is the increasing detrimental impact of using fossil fuels. Over the last few decades\, there has been serious effort to replace mechanical and hydraulic systems with electrical systems. This effort also includes replacing fixed-speed and old electrical drives with higher performance variable-speed drives. This is mainly due to the higher reliability\, efficiency and robustness of electrical systems. This trend of “more electric” systems could be seen across a wide range of applications. These include traction\, aerospace\, actuation\, mining\, oil & gas\, and industrial applications as examples. This push for electrification posed a lot of challenges to develop electrical systems that meet the demanding requirements of the various applications including harsh environments\, high power density\, high efficiency and fault tolerance in safety-critical applications. At the heart of the electrification effort is the development of advanced electrical machines and drives. This presentation will provide an overview of the various applications where electrification is taking place. The presentation will focus on electrical machines and drives that have been developed or are currently under development. The presentation will also cover some general trends in electrical machines and potential areas of research. \nBiography: Ayman M. El-Refaie received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Wisconsin Madison on 2002\, and 2005 respectively. Between 2005 and 2016\, he has been a principal engineer and a project leader at the Electrical Machines and Drives Lab at General Electric Global Research Center. Since January 2017\, he joined Marquette University as the Thomas and Suzanne M. Werner Endowed Chair in sustainable and secure energy. His interests include electrical machines and drives. He has 45 journal and 75 conference publications\, with several others pending. He has 41 issued US patents and 28 US patent applications\, with several others pending. At GE\, he worked on several projects that involve the development of advanced electrical machines for various applications including\, aerospace\, traction\, wind\, and water desalination. He was the program manager and principal investigator of a $5.6M DOE-funded project to develop next generation traction motors for hybrid vehicles. He is currently the program manager and principal investigator of a $12M DOE-funded project to develop next generation traction motors for hybrid vehicles that do not include rare earth materials. He was the chair for the IEEE IAS Transportation Systems committee and an associate editor for the Electric Machines committee. He was a technical program chair for the IEEE 2011 Energy Conversion Conference and Exposition (ECCE). He was the general chair for ECCE 2014 and 2015 ECCE steering committee chair. He is the general chair of IEMDC 2019. He is a member of the IEEE Industry Applications Society executive board. He is an IEEE Fellow.
