May 4, 2026 -Distinguished Lecturer Tour: Federated Intelligence Over the Air: From Centralized to Collaborative Sensing
Distinguished Lecturer Tour: Federated Intelligence Over the Air: From Centralized to Collaborative Sensing
Abstract: The next generation of wireless networks will no longer be confined to moving bits — they will sense, communicate, and learn simultaneously. This convergence is anticipated to enable distributed intelligence across devices, unlocking new capabilities for real-time perception and decision-making in dynamic environments. In this talk, two complementary advances in federated signal processing will be presented. First, an over-the-air federated edge learning (OTA-FEEL) framework with integrated radar sensing will be discussed. By leveraging echoes from the environment, rather than treating them solely as interference, robust model aggregation will be maintained while ensuring high-quality sensing and communication performance. A joint scheduling and beamforming design will be presented, supported by low-complexity optimization techniques, to preserve aggregation accuracy under realistic wireless conditions. Second, FedTrack, a novel federated learning–inspired algorithm for distributed target tracking, will be presented. By treating local log-likelihood functions as loss functions in a distributed optimization framework, FedTrack enables devices to collaboratively estimate a moving target’s position and velocity. This communication-efficient method closely approximates centralized maximum likelihood estimation, achieving accuracy near the Cramér–Rao bound while reducing reliance on a central coordinator. Together, these developments illustrate how federated intelligence over the air can transform 6G networks into systems that not only communicate but also sense and learn collaboratively. Implications for autonomous systems, smart cities, and beyond will be discussed, with emphasis on the central role of signal processing innovations in realizing this vision.

May 5, 2026 -The Role of RF-to-THz Technologies for Communication and Sensing Advancements: Challenges, Opportunities and Technology Directions
The Role of RF-to-THz Technologies for Communication and Sensing Advancements: Challenges, Opportunities and Technology Directions
Future of communication and sensing network is being transformed with the advancement in next generations of wireless with Beyond-5G, beyond-WiFi-8, ICAS, NTN, VR/XR/Metaverse, Digital-Twin and other emerging applications. Higher quality of experiences for connected future with ubiquitous lowest latency and superhigh data rate connectivity services will require innovative wireless technologies and communication hardware combined with AI/ML. Mobile platform integrated RF systems with antenna front ends are common factor for most of the wireless applications. Emerging usage scenarios will need intelligent mobile platforms with ultra-small form-factor, requiring co-design and heterogeneous integration of dis-similar semiconductor device, circuit and antenna technologies, in order to satisfy the desired application-specific performance criteria for the evolving use cases. This presentation will present the emerging technology trends and will focus on the antenna-integrated RF to mm-wave/THz array integrated frontend opportunities and challenges demanding new technology, design, development and integration. Example architectures to enable multifunction microsystem platform will be discussed.
