| Wed 28 May 2025 14:00 - 15:00 |  Seminar: IEEE Distinguished Lecture on Sensor Location Optimisation for Effective and Robust BeamformingCentre for Electronics Online Teams Link Summary In many applications, the sensor array's geometrical layout is assumed to be fixed and given in advance. However, it is possible to change the geometrical layout of the array including adjacent sensor spacing and these additional spatial degrees of freedom (DOFs) can be exploited to improve the performance in terms of either beamforming or direction finding or both. With the development of compressive sensing (CS) or the sparsity maximization framework, a new CS... |
| Thu 22 May 2025 11:00 - 12:00 |  Seminar: Quantum Nexus For Sensing, Communication, Control, And ComputingCentre for Electronics Click here to join the seminar online Summary Recent advancements in quantum information science are poised to unleash new sensing, communication, control, and computing (SC3) capabilities. Synergies in SC3 promise the development of next-generation networks with unprecedented performance. For instance, (i) control of statistical information empowers practical quantum inference, (ii) quantum ranging and synchronization facilitates networked sensing, and (iii) remote entanglement... |
| Fri 2 May 2025 10:30 - 11:30 |  Seminar: Cyber-Prosthetics as Body-centric Electromagnetic Devices: From Structural to Metal-free Bio-integrated AntennasCentre for Electronics Online Teams Link Summary The concept of Cyber-Prosthesis redefines implantable devices not only as mechanical surrogates but also as bodycentric wireless nodes capable of sensing, storing, and transmitting biophysical information. Within this paradigm, the structural components of prosthetic implants—such as orthopedic fixtures, dental screws, stents, and heart valves—are converted into antenna systems operating in the UHF RFID band. These systems communicate through body tissues by... |

| Wed 30 Apr 2025 10:30 - 11:30 |  Seminar: Interfacing Electromagnetics With Life Sciences and Medicine: Bioelectromagnetics and brain-machine interfaces for the treatment of cognitive conditions, glaucoma, and disorders of the retinaCentre for Electronics Online Teams Link Summary Although technical challenges are still daunting, the clinical utility of neuroprosthetics has increased dramatically over the past few years. This has been accomplished through the convergence of numerous disciplines, which have individually added fundamental understanding/capabilities to systems that interface with the human body to restore senses and movement, or treat prevalent diseases that have currently no foreseeable cure. In this talk, we will cover... |
