Title of Talk: Towards a Sustainable Future: Energy-Efficient Design for 6GAbstract:This talk will present a compelling vision for 6G networks that prioritize energy efficiency alongside performance, addressing the critical need to balance escalating traffic demands with sustainability goals. We will delve into the design philosophy required for 6G, emphasizing the integration of energy-saving features within the device and radio access network (RAN). The importance of standardized methodologies for evaluating energy-saving potential will be highlighted, paving the way for a future where 6G networks are both powerful and environmentally <a href="http://responsible.Agenda:" target="_blank" title="responsible.Agenda:">responsible.Agenda: 1.

Biography of the Speaker: Muhammad Tayyab received the B.Sc. degree from the University of the Punjab, Lahore, Pakistan, in 2012, the M.S. degree from the King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM), Saudi Arabia, in 2017, and the Ph.D. degree from the Aalto University, Finland, in 2021, all in electrical engineering. Since 2022, he has been Senior Research Specialist at Nokia Standards, Finland. He has more than 10 years of experience with a telco operator (Wi-tribe Pakistan), and equipment vendors (Nokia and Huawei Helsinki Research Center, Finland). His research interests span a range of areas, including device and network energy saving in 5G, and 6G, mobility management for dense cellular networks, RF planning and optimization, flexible RF sensor development, and UAVs. He has strong track record of innovation, evidenced by several inventions (49 of which have been published and the remaining filed by Nokia) and 26 research articles. He received the Gold Medal Award for obtaining the first position in the B.Sc. <a href="http://degree.Virtual:" target="_blank" title="degree.Virtual:">degree.Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/501406

Hello IEEE PES Vancovuer Chapter and IEEE Vancouver Section Members,Join Professor Dragan Jovcic, FIEEE, for a thought-provoking seminar on the rapid advances in high-voltage DC transmission—especially the rise of VSC and MMC technologies enabling multi-terminal DC grids akin to complex AC systems. Explore real-world motivations such as the proposed 350 GW North Sea DC grid, limitations of AC over long subsea links, and technical challenges in protection, such as ultra-fast relay selectivity in under 0.5 ms, interoperability, self-protection, and ensuring reliability comparable to AC <a href="http://grids.-Date:" target="_blank" title="grids.-Date:">grids.-Date: Friday, 19 September 2025-Time: 5:30 PM – 8:00 PM (PST)-Location: Building SW1 Room# 1021, 3700 Willingdon Ave, Burnaby, BC V5G 3H2-Cost: CAD $5 for IEEE Members and free of cost for IEEE Students-Seats are limited—registration is required.
