About the TalkToday, most gains in powertrain fuel economy come from optimizing energy consumption within the powertrain itself. However, these approaches have nearly reached their maximum potential. With the emergence of autonomous driving technologies, a new opportunity arises to further enhance powertrain efficiency by extending optimization beyond the vehicle’s hardware. By co‑optimizing speed and energy, transportation systems can become significantly smarter and more efficient. Identifying the optimal balance between travel speed and energy use allows vehicles to reduce fuel or electricity consumption with minimal impact on travel time. This synergy lowers operating costs, increases driving range, and reduces environmental footprint. Across applications—from public transit to freight logistics—joint speed‑energy optimization leads to smoother operations, improved reliability, and more sustainable movement of people and goods, all while preserving high performance where it matters <a href="http://most.About" target="_blank" title="most.About">most.About the SpeakerSOUSSO KELOUWANIProfessor, Department of Mechanical Engineering | Université du Québec à Trois-RivièresCanada Research Chair in Energy Optimization of Intelligent Transport SystemsSenior Member, IEEEDr. Kelouwani received the Ph.D. degree in robotics systems from École Polytechnique de Montréal in 2011.

Gunes is a Marie Curie Fellow and has received the Turkish Academy of Sciences Outstanding Young Scientist (TÜBA-GEBIP) Award in 2019.Talk Abstract:The satellite networks, emerging as megaconstellations, are promising significant advancements to eliminate the digital divide, especially with the deployment of direct-to-cell connections on a mass scale. However, the deployment of such networks remains challenging, requiring innovation in architecture, interoperability, and security. This keynote will provide an accessible overview of the development of non-terrestrial networks (NTNs), emphasizing how they can be seamlessly integrated with terrestrial systems through approaches such as Open Radio Access Networks (O-RAN). The discussion will explore how resource allocation can be configured to ensure efficient operation in heterogeneous networks, while addressing the pressing issues of resilience and security in a highly interconnected space-terrestrial ecosystem. The talk will conclude by highlighting open research directions and long-term opportunities, pointing to how NTNs can evolve into secure, intelligent, and sustainable infrastructures that support inclusive global <a href="http://connectivity.Meeting" target="_blank" title="connectivity.Meeting">connectivity.Meeting Link: https://ulaval.zoom.us/j/65298393873?pwd=oPbFThy9MSAKft8nbUrOjwC6Z6Ek8g.1, Québec City, Quebec, Canada, G1V 0A6
