Centre for Electronics

Seminar Online Link Synopsis The miniaturization of electronics has enabled rapid advancements in computing and communication over the past several decades. However, as we look toward the next frontier of technological innovation, it is increasingly evident that miniaturization alone is not enough. A new class of emerging applications—including wearable systems, soft robotics, biomedical implants, interactive devices, and flexible displays—demands electronic systems that not only...

14:00 - 15:00		Image: Seminar: Towards Physical Neural Networks for Wireless Communications - Prof. Marco Di Renzo, King’s College London (UK)
Centre for Electronics

Online Seminar Link Synopsis A physical neural network is a type of artificial neural network in which an electrically adjustable material is used to emulate the function of a neural neuron model. The term "physical" neural network is used to emphasize the reliance on physical hardware utilized to emulate neurons as opposed to software-based approaches. In this talk, we discuss the role of physical neural networks in the context of wave-domain information processing for wireless...

Centre for Electronics

Seminar Online Link Synopsis This presentation gives an industry view of terahertz opportunities emerging 2026-2046. Terahertz frequencies attract for many reasons. Fusion MW-level gyrotrons are more efficient 0.1THz. 6G Communications can only meet most of its promises such as Tbps data rates and sub mS latency if it moves far beyond the 5G frequencies at launch 2030. 0.1-0.3THz for one kilometer in all-weather conditions? Military/ security THz market is largest, notably body scanners...
