  ECE Distinguished Seminar with Professor Andrea Alu

  Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)

  2:00 PM 2350, Ford Motor Company Engineering Design Center

  EVENT DETAILS

  Prof. Andrea Alù is a Distinguished Professor at the City University of New York (CUNY), the Founding Director of the Photonics Initiative at the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center, and the Einstein Professor of Physics at the CUNY Graduate Center.
  
  The field of metamaterials, artificial materials engineered at the nanoscale, has been rapidly evolving in the past two decades, demonstrating extreme optical and acoustic phenomena and unprecedented control over wave propagation. In this talk, he will discuss recent developments in this field of research, with an emphasis on the role of symmetries in establishing emerging optical and acoustic responses for metamaterials based on otherwise simple constituents.

  ECE Seminar - Husheng Li

  Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)

  11:00 AM L440, Technological Institute

  EVENT DETAILS

  Communications and sensing (say, radar sensing) are developed, designed and operated independently. However, they share many similarities such as frequency bands, hardware and signal processing techniques. Therefore, pressed by the deficiency of available frequency spectrum, there is a demand for integrating both functionalities of communications and sensing in the same waveform and operated in the same hardware platform. This integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) has been made one of the six use scenarios of 6G cellular systems. The marriage of the two historically independent technologies brings many challenges, such as the fundamental trade-off between communications and sensing, waveform design, ADC sampling bottleneck for wideband processing, and security issues. In this talk, I will discuss these topics, together with the theoretical, algorithmic and experimental progress in my research lab.
