This capability is of interest to weather forecasters\/researchers in LIDAR and laser communications, among others. The CubeSat\u0026rsquo;s low cost would allow for a constellation of spacecraft to be deployed, yielding a continuous near-real-time 3-D temperature profile map of the Earth\u0026rsquo;s atmosphere.

Recent advances in portability, modularity, and standards have moved SDR from the realm of single purpose, hobbyist, narrow bandwidth processors to multi-waveform , almost generic, processing engines. So much so, that if you can afford a rack of Zeon servers, you can move the processing stack to start directly at the output of the Analog-Digital Converter, and move the algorithm between platforms at will.\u0026nbsp; Now that this pure software portability has been achieved, what are the solutions for embedded systems that have limited Size, Weight and Power? Until recently, that answer has looked like custom ASICs or FPGAs, performing a single waveform, or at best, a single waveform family.\u0026nbsp; This hardware limitation doesn\u0026rsquo;t have to occur however. In engineering, a good rule of thumb is that the most difficult, or state of the art, attempt will always require customer logic \/ expensive development, but as capabilities increase, designers can afford to trade off implementation efficiency for ease of re-use and modularity. With the latest FPGAs available, the market has developed enough excess capacity that we can afford to be non-optimal in our efficiency, and thus make the equivalent of libraries in hardware that allow an algorithm to be implemented in SW or in HW. This talk will cover a short background in SDR and some of the open-source frameworks for SDR. We will examine some reasons (but not all) why it is important and some challenges. I will talk about REDHAWK, a US Government curated standard for SDR , and I will demonstrate the ADS-B waveform running on a laptop, in an laptop\/FPGA and entirely in an FPGA; examining some of the trade offs.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeakers Bio: \u003C\/strong\u003EMatthew Clark joined NGIT-TASC in 2007, with the goal of converting signal processing algorithms into embedded hardware and software.

Optical materials play important roles in the\u0026nbsp;future development of technologies that are based on the\u0026nbsp;generation, transmission and processing of light. In this talk,\u0026nbsp;I will introduce our recent efforts in 2 research directions on\u0026nbsp;optical materials. One is the investigation of optical\u0026nbsp;materials for novel metaphotonic applications. By\u0026nbsp;introducing materials with different optical responses to the\u0026nbsp;design of metamaterials, we are now able to achieve a\u0026nbsp;much wider range of optical functionalities. For example, by\u0026nbsp;utilizing a phase change material vanadium dioxide to\u0026nbsp;construct a completely reconfigurable \u0026ldquo;meta-canvas\u0026rdquo;, we\u0026nbsp;can easily write and erase a metaphotonic structure on the\u0026nbsp;\u0026ldquo;canvas\u0026rdquo; and such processes can be repeated for at least\u0026nbsp;hundreds of times.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe other is the exploration of new materials with fundamentally new optical responses and\u0026nbsp;their\u0026nbsp;optoelectronic and nanophotonic applications, such as van der Waals materials with\u0026nbsp;semiconducting\u0026nbsp;properties. We have discovered room-temperature high-polarization valleytronic behaviors in a van\u0026nbsp;der Waals material, tin monosulfide (SnS), which has non-degenerate valleys due to its strong in-plane\u0026nbsp;anisotropy.

For example, the LTE standard supports up to 8 base station (BS) transmit antennas and up to 8 receive antennas in the user equipment (UE). To further reap the benefits of MIMO, massive MIMO has been proposed by equipping each BS with hundreds of antennas or more. One key issue in such large-dimension MIMO system is the design of efficient precoding\/detection algorithms, especially when the total\u0026nbsp;number of serving UE antennas is close to that at the base station, in which case linear schemes fall short in performance due to high orthogonality deficiency of the MIMO channel. Recently, lattice reduction (LR)-aided detections have been proposed in MIMO systems to achieve near-optimum bit-error-rate (BER) performance with average-case polynomial complexity. In this talk, we will dive deep into the analysis and applications of LR algorithms in multiuser large MIMO systems. Specifically, we propose a LR-aided precoding scheme and a LR-aided detection scheme. Compared to other state-of-the-art schemes, LR-aided designs achieve superior BER while maintaining low complexity.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeakers Bio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nYiming Kong is a Ph.D. student working with Professor Xiaoli Ma with a research focus on the design and application of low-complexity high-performance detectors for large MIMO systems.

It provides important clues for object shape and boundary detection, as well as material identification. Our research has initially focused on texture similarity, which is important for a variety of applications, including image compression and content-based retrieval. We have proposed a new class of structural texture similarity metrics (STSIMs) that account for human visual perception and the stochastic nature of textures. They rely entirely on local image statistics and allow substantial point-by-point deviations between textures that according to human judgment are similar or essentially identical. We have also developed new testing procedures for objective texture similarity metrics. We have identified three operating domains for evaluating the performance of such metrics, each with different performance goals and testing procedures. We have also proposed ViSiProG (Visual Similarity by Progressive Grouping), a new procedure for collecting subjective similarity data.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOur current goal is the extraction of material properties.\u0026nbsp; We propose techniques that account for dramatic changes in texture appearance due to variations in illumination and viewing conditions.\u0026nbsp; The key elements the proposed approach are (1) the use of ViSiProG for identifying clusters of visually similar textures; (2) the characterization of each material with a small set of exemplars; (3) the use of machine learning techniques for training STSIMs to separate the textures according to the material they correspond to.\u0026nbsp; We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques using \u0026quot;CUReT,\u0026quot; a fully labeled database of real-world surfaces, viewed under different illuminations and viewing angles at a fixed distance.\u0026nbsp; However, the proposed approaches can be applied to domains where semantic labeling is not available, for example, a database of satellite images, and a database of building fronts obtained from \u0026quot;Google Earth Street View.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeakers Bio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nThrasos Pappas received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT in 1987.

In most cases, such PT-symmetric Hamiltonians involve complex potentials with symmetric and anti-symmetric distributions of their real\/imaginary parts. Even though the practicality of this theory, is still a matter of debate in its original community, recently it has been noted that optics, due to the abundance of non-conservative elements of gain and loss, can provide a fertile ground for observing and fruitfully utilizing parity-time symmetry.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn this talk, the ramifications of parity-time symmetry in optics will be discussed. PT-symmetric structures by utilizing balanced regions of gain and loss can exhibit peculiar properties which do not have a counterpart in traditional Hermitian systems. This has inspired the broader field of non-Hermitian photonics targeting new devices and structures with novel properties and functionalities by exploiting gain and loss as extra degrees of freedom. In particular, I will discuss selective PT-symmetry-breaking in multimode laser cavities as a new approach to enforce single-mode operation.

Along with these improvements, analyses of neural information processing are moving from single neuron to population-level analyses. One promising approach for understanding information processing across large populations of neurons is to use methods for dimensionality reduction; such approaches aim to find low-dimensional structure in the joint activity of many neurons over time. In this talk, I will describe my lab\u0026#39;s efforts to learn low-dimensional structure present in large-scale neural recordings, both from electrophysiology recordings in motor cortex and from two-photon calcium movies in primary visual cortex. Our findings suggest that dimensionality reduction techniques can be used to pull out structure from neural activity to solve a range of decoding and classification problems.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker\u0026rsquo;s Bio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nEva Dyer is currently an Assistant Professor in the Wallace H.

Three-dimensional SAR imaging usually requires multiple passes, such as Interferometric SAR or multipass Circular SAR.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe talk will offer an overview of SAR technology and its various techniques, offering a brief history of the development and taxonomy of SAR algorithms. We will also look at a more intuitive way of approaching Radar Imaging in the wavenumber (k) space, through Ewald Sphere visualization of scatterer profiles in k-space. The Ewald Sphere, combined with angle isomorphism between scatterer view angles and the corresponding sample in k-space allows us to develop a Stolt transformation based imaging algorithm. This algorithm, which uses a novel Huygens-Fresnel processing method, gives us the ability to perform two and three-dimensional aperture synthesis to create volumetric images of objects moving in highly non-linear paths from a single pass. The algorithm also supports coherent multi-band fusion, as well as spatial sub-aperture fusion of data from sparse sensor swarms.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker\u0026rsquo;s Bio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESkanda Prasad is a fourth year PhD student working with Prof Christopher Barnes with a research focus in Synthetic Aperture Radars and Radar Imaging based on diffractive wave field inversion.

Although, D-RoF features lower transmission efficiency, it inherits part of the advantages from both analog-RoF (A-RoF) and functional split. D-RoF is format agnostic with simple hardware implementation at radio access units (RAU). Meanwhile it benefits from digitization with high robustness against nonlinear degradations. In my PhD work, to improve the bandwidth efficiency and capacity of D-RoF systems, research topics in the following directions have been studied: (a) fast statistical estimation, relaxed Lloyd algorithm, and differential coding are proposed and jointly applied for data compression to reduce the quantization noise and improve the compression gain in a digital MFH; (b) advanced modulation formats and statistical digital signal processing (DSP) techniques in coherent optical systems acting as 5G high-capacity MFH networks; (c) advanced multiband modulation techniques for spectral efficient bidirectional data transmission and multiplexing in digital fronthaul systems.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBio:\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nMu Xu grew up in Anhui, China.

Examples abound in nature on many scales, from the flocking of birds to cell migration in morphogenesis. They also include synthetic systems, from engineered microswimmers to self-catalytic colloids and autonomously propelled liquid crystals. What unifies these systems is that they are driven out of equilibrium by dissipative processes that act on each individual particle, hence break the time reversal symmetry of the dynamics at the microscale. This results in surprising behavior. For instance, active fluids flow with no externally applied driving forces, active gases do not fill their container, and active particles spontaneously organize when passive ones would not. Since time reversal symmetry of the microdynamics and the associated detailed balance of forward and reverse processes are built into the foundation of equilibrium statistical physics, the description of active systems poses a new theoretical challenge. In this talk I will discuss the physics of active matter with examples from both the living and non-living worlds. I will show that by combining minimal physical models with continuum theory and simulations we are making advances towards capturing quantitatively the laws of spontaneous organization of active systems. This theoretical progress has implication for both formulating design principles for new smart materials and understanding cellular and multicellular organization.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker Bio:\u003C\/strong\u003E Cristina Marchetti is the William R.
