Data is the foundation of any software application. These applications accept, process, and output the response based on the data type. It is of high importance to ensure the safety of these data. The protection is ensured by architecting the application securely. With the rise of foundational models the influence of ML applications is growing and the paradigm of security changes rapidly. There are various ways to interact with these foundational models and this is the application developers responsibility to secure the data accepted and ended by these applications. In this talk, I will discuss the data classification, security paradigm, and security for LLM applications.

The ability of electromagnetic waves to penetrate through various building materials, together with advances in design of ultra-wideband compact radar modules, has made see-thru-wall technology, also known as Through-the-wall radar imaging (TWRI), of increasing importance in a wide range of both civilian and defense applications. In this lecture, an overview of various TWRI technologies, including the latest research in several areas important in the design of TWRI systems, will be presented. Electromagnetic-based techniques for wall parameter estimation to mitigate the adverse wall effects and enhance the efficient imaging and classification of targets within and/or behind walls will be discussed. For efficient imaging, details of fast polarimetric and tomographic based imaging algorithms for both 2D and 3D scenarios will be given, and imaging results for various realistic scenarios using both numerical simulations and laboratory measurements will be presented, Development of wideband and ultrawideband antenna arrays, which are essential in successful implementation of see-thru-wall technology, together with hardware descriptions of two constructed portable systems will conclude the presentation. Throughout, I will include a personal perspective from my own two-decade journey in this interdisciplinary research area.

IP Rights in Space: Space debris. Who owns it? This is the foundation of one of the big challenges to space debris remediation - even if a satellite breaks up into dangerous pieces, technically the country of registration still owns all those pieces, and it is not allowed to handle and/or manipulate the space objects of another country. Should the outer space treaty require the state of registry to maintain jurisdiction and control, and if control is lost should other countries have the right to mitigate potential dangers? Find out this and more today at IEEE Tech Talk.
