YOU'RE INVITED!Join the IEEE Queen's Branch in welcoming Dr. Jawad Siddiqui from the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society to speak with students about new work in antennas for the space domain, as well as the opportunities available to students through the IEEE. All students are welcome!The talk will explore the evolving role of antenna technologies in modern space applications, with a particular focus on CubeSats and rocket platforms. It will discuss key challenges such as size constraints, thermal management, deployment mechanisms, and radiation effects, as well as emerging trends in adaptive, reconfigurable, and additive-manufactured antennas designed for the space environment. The presentation will also highlight opportunities for students and professionals to engage with the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S), including the benefits of membership and participation in its SIGHT (Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology) initiatives that apply antenna and propagation technologies for societal impact. The speaker will welcome questions from the audience. The seminar will end with an interactive discussion with the speaker about opportunities for students in the IEEE. These include best practices for achieving funding awards through the IEEE, with a focus on the <a href="http://AP-S.Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="AP-S.Co-sponsored">AP-S.Co-sponsored by: Abedal Rahman ShehabiSpeaker(s): Dr. SiddiquiRoom: 314, Bldg: Walter Light Hall, 19 Union St, Kingston, Ontario, Canada

This talk focuses on how AI and data science can be effectively applied to solve real problems in scientific and engineering contexts. It will cover practical examples of using machine learning for modeling and prediction, automating data analysis workflows, improving experimental design through data-driven insights, and communicating results clearly with visualization tools. Attendees will learn which AI and data skills are most valuable for research and industry, how to choose the right methods for their data, and what approaches truly make an impact in advancing innovation and <a href="http://efficiency.300" target="_blank" title="efficiency.300">efficiency.300 Ouellette Ave, University of Windsor- Advanced Hub, Windsor, Ontario, Canada

As we transition to 6G, the emphasis moves beyond connectivity toward leveraging this machine-generated data for a new spectrum of control applications, such as UAV swarms, collaborative robots, and cooperative autonomous vehicles. Designing communication systems for these advanced control applications introduces a distinct set of challenges. These include meeting stringent requirements for delay and reliability, addressing the semantics of control systems, and ensuring robust resource management. In the first part of this talk, we explore ultra-reliable channel modeling and communication techniques based on the integration of extreme value theory with generative artificial intelligence (AI). These methods offer improved accuracy in predicting rare but critical events while providing adaptivity to dynamic scenarios. In the second part of the talk, we explore the benefits of employing optimization theory based, explainable, and robust AI in radio resource management for the joint design of control and communication systems. These approaches offer a systematic methodology to enhance robustness and interpret decisions made by black-box AI <a href="http://models.BIOGRAPHYDr" target="_blank" title="models.BIOGRAPHYDr">models.BIOGRAPHYDr. Sinem Coleri is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Koc University.
