SUMMARY:Data-Driven Anomaly Detection & Prediction for IoT
DESCRIPTION:Anomaly detection/prediction usually relies on wide domain knowledge to build up the tools to automatically detect/predict abnormal events or behaviors of an IoT system. An IoT system may consist of machines with different capabilities\, functionalities and ages. Abnormal events or behaviors are usually rare events. It is time-consuming and high-cost to build up the domain knowhow of the IoT systems and collect enough data points of the anomaly. In this lecture\, I first identify the issues and challenges. Then I illustrate a general environment for anomaly detection/perdition. Then I will illustrate the technologies and solutions for anomaly detection/prediction\, and show some prototypes and their applications.\nSpeaker(s): Phone Lin\,\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/358912

DESCRIPTION:IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) Distinguished Lecture  Please join us for an upcoming lecture on 27 Apr. 2023 at 11 am – 12 pm (Eastern Time) by Prof. Reyhan Baktur\, from Utah State University\, USA.  Overview of CubeSats: from Concept to Orbit  CubeSats are modular and standardized modern small satellites. They have been gaining steady popularity as educational projects\, low-cost space exploration vehicles for technology demonstrations\, multi-point observations of space environment\, and monitoring/reporting proper deployment of expensive deep space instruments.  With rapid advancement of electronics\, novel mechanical design\, and aerospace technology\, new progress in CubeSats is emerging every day. This calls for interests and early involvements of creative young minds. The objective of this presentation is to convey the basics of CubeSat development cycle\, launch methods\, typical CubeSat orbits\, link budget analysis\, various antenna solutions\, and feasible classroom projects. For the interests of young professionals in electrical engineering\, this lecture features a tour of several recent CubeSat missions and antenna designs for spacecraft\, ground station\, and radio beacon.  Biography  Dr. Reyhan Baktur is an associate professor at the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)\, Utah State University (USU). Her research interests include antennas and microwave engineering with a focus on antenna design for CubeSats; optically transparent antennas; multifunctional integrated antennas\, sensors\, and microwave circuits.  She is affiliated with the Center for Space Engineering at USU\, the Space Dynamics Laboratory (the university affiliated research center)\, and collaborates with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.  Dr. Baktur is an an IEEE Antennas and Propagation (APS) Distinguished Lecturer of 2022-2024\, AdCom member of IEEE APS\, and is active in US National Committee of the International Union of Radio Science\, serving as the vice chair for commission B\, and the inaugural chair for the Women in Radio Science.

SUMMARY:Terahertz Chip-Scale Systems: A New Design Paradigm
DESCRIPTION:Silicon-based Terahertz systems is a field that is only about a decade old. In this time\, we have seen a phenomenal growth of silicon systems operating at THz frequencies for a wide range of applications in sensing\, imaging and communication. It can be argued that both the ‘THz gap’ and the ‘technology and applications gap’ is closing in meaningful ways in the THz range. Technologies beyond 100 GHz focusing on sensing\, imaging and wireless back-haul links are getting attractive as we enter into a new area of highly dense network of autonomous systems requiring ultra-high speed and reliable links.  In order to move beyond this inflection point as Moore’s law continue to slow\, I will discuss why we need to look beyond the classical ‘device’-level metrics of efficiency and sensitivity of THz sources and detectors towards holistic ‘system’ level properties such as scalability and programmability. Such properties are critically important for applications in sensing and imaging\, as evidenced across sensor fusion technologies across mmWave\, IR and optical frequencies. In this talk\, I will highlight approaches that cut across electromagnetics\, circuits\, systems and signal processing\, to allow for such reconfigurability in THz signal synthesis and sensing\, yet realized with devices that are themselves not very efficient. Particularly\, we will demonstrate approaches to THz beamforming arrays\, CMOS sensors reconfigurable across the three field properties of spectrum (100 GHz-1000 GHz)\, beam pattern and polarization (Nature Comm’19)\, programmable THz metasurfaces with CMOS tiling (Nature Elec’20)\, and enabling dynamic spectrum shaping (ISSCC’21\, JSSC’21) and physically secure sub-THz links (ISSCC’20\, Nature Elec’21). In the end\, I will comment on what could be the major directions for the field in the coming decade.

SUMMARY:Humber IEEE Smart City meeting
DESCRIPTION:Meeting organizing smart city project plan\, meeting new volunteers and delegating tasks.  The current Smart city project is “Smart City Planter” It is a Raspberry Pi Pico W based BLE Mesh device that monitors the soil condition\, controls watering and communicates with other plants. It has an RGB LED output to light up the planters and tamper detection. We need people of all stages of the design process. The original design is complete. We need to design the schematic\, the circuit board\, the 3D case\, the software and the BLE stack\, debugging/testing.  This is a multi-year project and I hope that there will be many people interested in assisting with it.

SUMMARY:A Hybrid EM/QM Framework Based on the ADHIE-FDTD Method for the Modeling of Nanowires (Dries VandeGinste\, Ghent)
DESCRIPTION:A new modeling formalism to compute the time-dependent behavior of combined electromagnetic (EM) and quantum mechanical (QM) systems is proposed. The method is geared towards highly multiscale geometries\, which is vital for the future design of nanoelectronic devices. The validity of the proposed formalism is thoroughly discussed and its applicability is proven through several numerical experiments\, including a single-particle Maxwell-Schrödinger (MS) system as well as a many-particle Maxwell-Kohn-Sham (MKS) system. These experiments confirm that the novel method drastically decreases the computation time while retaining the accuracy\, leading to efficient and accurate simulations of light-matter interactions in multiscale nanoelectronic devices.

SUMMARY:Is the Algorithm Plotting Against Us?
DESCRIPTION:Discover the long-term impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on our world! Join us for an insightful event where we’ll explore the revolutionary changes brought about by AI and its potential consequences. Our special guest speaker\, Kenneth Wenger\, will share his expertise from his groundbreaking book.  Artificial intelligence is everywhere—it’s in our houses\, phones\, and cars. AI makes decisions about what we should buy\, watch\, and read\, and it won’t be long before AI’s in our hospitals combing through our records. Maybe soon it will even be deciding who’s innocent and who goes to jail.  In Is the Algorithm Plotting Against Us? A Layperson’s Guide to the Concepts\, Math\, and Pitfalls of AI (February 2023; Working Fires Foundation) AI expert Kenneth Wenger deftly explains the complexity at the heart of artificial intelligence. He celebrates the elegance and ingenuity of AI algorithms—and you don’t need a computer science degree to follow along.  “The purpose of this book is to explain how AI works at a level of detail that makes these algorithms accessible to a general audience\,” Wenger writes. “Why should you get involved in the discussion if you are not a scientist? Because each of us can influence our collective future. You have the ability to influence policy every time you go out and vote. The public can decide what areas of research should get more attention. You will be better served by understanding how these systems work and what we realistically need to worry about rather than making an emotional decision based on uninformed sensationalist ideas.”  Speaker(s): Kenneth Wenger\,   Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/362301

SUMMARY:Radar-inspired imaging for breast cancer detection
DESCRIPTION:Biomedical applications at microwave and radio frequencies rely on the differences in permittivity and conductivity of biological tissues. The properties of healthy tissues span a wide range that relates to water content\, while diseased tissues such as malignancies typically exhibit increased properties. Leveraging these differences\, microwave imaging has been investigated as an alternative method for breast cancer detection and treatment monitoring.  Several approaches have been developed to map the properties of tissues and identify anomalies. Microwave tomography involves measuring signals transmitted through the tissues\, then iteratively updating properties of a model until simulations match these measurements. Radar-based approaches involve collecting reflections from tissues\, then processing and focusing these reflections to identify anomalies. For both radar and tomography\, key challenges are design of a measurement system and interface that enable reliable and rapid collection of data while operating close to the target tissues\, developing imaging algorithms capable of detecting anomalies in a complex background\, and reconciling the resulting microwave images with clinically available data.  At the University of Calgary\, we have developed several generations of prototype systems\, focusing on demonstrating the consistency of images collected at different time points\, as well as the feasibility of detecting tumors and treatment-related changes. Our most advanced radar-based system implements patient-specific capabilities\, scanning the breast with 4 degrees of freedom in sensor positioning to enable consistent collection of data. We leveraged the knowledge gained through experience with this system to develop a novel approach that estimates locally averaged properties of tissues by detecting pulses traveling through the breast. With this approach\, we have demonstrated a high degree of similarity between images captured at different time points\, as well as symmetry between properties of the right and left breasts. Comparison of the images of right and left breasts of cancer patients has also enabled tracking treatment-related changes. Recently\, our team began testing the next generation of this transmission system that features improved resolution. The initial results obtained with this system add to the growing body of work that illustrates the potential of microwave imaging to provide a unique breast imaging solution.
