Title: NASA TECHNOLOGIES FOR SPACE EXPLORATIONSpeaker : Goutam Chattopadhyay, 2025 IEEE MTT-S President and Senior Scientist, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of TechnologyDay, Date and Time: Thursday, July 10, 2025, 2:00 PM – 3:00 PMVenue: Goodwin Hall, Room # 254, Queen’s University, KingstonAbstract:NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which completed eighty-five years of its existence in 2021, builds instruments for NASA missions. Exploring the universe and our own planet Earth from space has been the mission of NASA. Robotics missions such as Voyager, which continues to go beyond our solar system, missions to Mars and other planets, exploring the stars and galaxies for astrophysics <a href="http://missions.Fundamental" target="_blank" title="missions.Fundamental">missions.Fundamental science questions drive the selection of NASA missions and innovative instrument development. We design and build instruments to make measurements that can answer those science questions. In this presentation, we will present an overview of the state-of-the-art instruments that we are currently developing and layout the details of the science questions they will try to answer. Rapid progress on multiple fronts, such as commercial software for component and device modeling, low-loss circuits and interconnect technologies, cell phone technologies, and submicron scale lithographic techniques are making it possible for us to design and develop smart, low-power yet very powerful instruments that can even fit in a SmallSat or CubeSat.

AbstractTraditionally, AC power meters have been calibrated at power frequencies of 50/60 Hz. However, power meter manufacturers offer instruments with much higher power measuring bandwidths. This is because many applications consume power at higher frequencies, which go up to 100 kHz. These applications include:• Switching-mode power supplies,• High-frequency electronic lighting ballasts,• Soft starters in motor control systems,• Frequency converters in traction <a href="http://applications.Measurements" target="_blank" title="applications.Measurements">applications.Measurements of power at high frequencies have been lagging as well as the development of power meters to address the above applications, and few national laboratories provide traceable calibrations of up to 100 kHz. Without this capability, there remains doubt over the validity of the high-frequency specifications of power meters and power analyzers. The guaranteed accuracy and precision of Yokogawa's instruments results from the fact that Yokogawa has its own European Standards Laboratory at its European headquarters in The Netherlands. This facility was the first industrial (i.e. non-government or national) organization in the world to offer accredited power calibration, at frequencies up to 100 kHz. The ISO/IEC17025 accreditation (RvA K164) demonstrates the international competence of the <a href="http://Laboratory.Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="Laboratory.Co-sponsored">Laboratory.Co-sponsored by: PES and IMS Chapters in Canada as well as PES Chapters in USA (Regions 1-6)Speaker(s): Erik KroonVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/491831

He shows that today’s agents aren’t just “smart autocomplete” but self-directed ideators, experimenters, analysts, and creators. Drawing on his recent publications, he argues that AI agents already deliver end-to-end autonomy: how aiXplain autonomously refine Agentic AI workflows via continuous LLM-driven feedback loops, ideate and implement enterprise Agentic AI use-cases, and derive actionable business insights from enterprise data—producing executive-ready reports without human <a href="http://intervention....Speaker" target="_blank" title="intervention....Speaker">intervention....Speaker – Kamer Ali Yukselhttps://r6.ieee.org/scv-cs/wp-content/uploads/sites/81/2025/05/Screen-Shot-2025-05-31-at-2.20.56-PM.png Talk title: From Algorithms to Agents: The Role of Agentic AI in HealthcareAbstract – The future of healthcare is not just digital—it’s intelligent. Agentic AI represents a paradigm shift in artificial intelligence, moving beyond static models and reactive systems to dynamic, autonomous agents capable of setting goals, making decisions, and adapting over time.

Abstract:In this talk, the sparse signal models in one-dimensional and higher dimensions are first reviewed with representative applications. The problem of sparse two-dimensional signal recovery, referred to a low-rank matrix recovery is then addressed. As a widely-used tool to resist outliers, the correntropy criterion or Welsch function has recently been exploited for robust matrix recovery. However, it down-weighs all observations including uncontaminated data. On the other hand, its implicit regularizer cannot achieve sparseness, which is a desirable property in many practical scenarios. To address these two issues, we devise a novel M-estimator called hybrid ordinary-Welsch (HOW) function, which only down-weighs the outlier-contaminated data, and the IR generated by HOW can attain sparseness. The HOW function is then applied to robust matrix recovery, and an efficient algorithm is developed. Extensive experimental results based on synthetic and real-world data demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in terms of recovery accuracy and <a href="http://runtime.Biography:Hing" target="_blank" title="runtime.Biography:Hing">runtime.Biography:Hing Cheung So was born in Hong Kong.

Finite-Time Convergence and Sample Complexity of Actor-Critic Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning
Finite-Time Convergence and Sample Complexity of Actor-Critic Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning
Abstract: Reinforcement learning with multiple, potentially conflicting objectives is pervasive in real-world applications, while this problem remains theoretically under-explored. This paper tackles the multi-objective reinforcement learning (MORL) problem and introduces an innovative actor-critic algorithm named MOAC which finds a policy by iteratively making trade-offs among conflicting reward signals. Notably, we provide the first analysis of finite-time Pareto-stationary convergence and corresponding sample complexity in both discounted and average reward settings. Our approach has two salient features: (a) MOAC mitigates the cumulative estimation bias resulting from finding an optimal common gradient descent direction out of stochastic samples. This enables provable convergence rate and sample complexity guarantees independent of the number of objectives; (b) With proper momentum coefficient, MOAC initializes the weights of individual policy gradients using samples from the environment, instead of manual initialization. This enhances the practicality and robustness of our algorithm. Finally, experiments conducted on a real-world dataset validate the effectiveness of our proposed <a href="http://method.Room:" target="_blank" title="method.Room:">method.Room: 430, Bldg: EOW, University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

Abstract:It is well known that a beamformer aims to receive the signal-of-interest at a possibly known direction-of-arrival while suppressing the surrounding interferences and noise. In this talk, the beamforming concept is exploited to the application of video background and object extraction. The formulated problems are solved by alternating direction method of multipliers, fixed point iterations, and Lagrange programming neural network. Experimental results on real video sequences with different complex backgrounds demonstrate the excellent performance of the proposed approach.

Please join us for an upcoming seminar by Dr. Alex Wong, Associate Professor at City University of Hong <a href="http://Kong.Date:" target="_blank" title="Kong.Date:">Kong.Date: Tuesday, 22 July 2025Time: 3 – 4 pm (ET)Location: University of Toronto, Room BA 2135, Bahen Centre for Information Technology, 40 St George St, Toronto, M5S 2E4Abstract:Electromagnetic meta-devices of various kinds have emerged in the last 20 years to manipulate electromagnetic waves with unprecedented freedom, implicating microwave to optical frequencies, enhancing our understanding on fundamental physical phenomena and finding applications in microscopy, biomedicine and wireless communication and power transfer, to name a few. In this talk, I will review recent progress in my research group into main electromagnetic meta-devices: the discrete metasurface and the directional <a href="http://source.The" target="_blank" title="source.The">source.The discrete metasurface is an approach to treat the metasurface as an inherently pixelated surface with spatially discrete electromagnetic properties. Through taking this approach, we understand how discretization changes the metasurface performance and to what degree the metasurface can tolerate discretization. In some cases, we can also achieve functionalities which are impossible or unobvious to the continuous metasurface. Aggressive discretization can help to enlarge the size of the meta-atom, enabling enhanced bandwidth, reduction of fabrication tolerance, and the design of multifunction and intelligent metasurfaces for sensing, communication and <a href="http://imaging.Directional" target="_blank" title="imaging.Directional">imaging.Directional electromagnetic sources have attracted much recent attention as they form building blocks to meta-devices that manipulate the travel direction of electromagnetic waves. We juxtapose the near- and far-field properties of the circular, Huygens, and Janus dipoles, and show that the Huygens and Janus dipoles both exhibit directional near-field coupling behavior, but possess very different far-field radiation behaviors. This gives them complementary application potentials. While existing Janus dipoles are essentially sub-wavelength structures that scatter a small part of an incident wave, we introduce the Janus antenna – an active Janus dipole fed by a transmission line, which dramatically increases the power throughput and the bandwidth over which the near-field directional behavior can be achieved. The Janus dipole can be used as either an antenna a meta-device or a meta-atom, with promising potentials in directional switching, MIMO antenna and compact WPT <a href="http://systems.Biography:Alex" target="_blank" title="systems.Biography:Alex">systems.Biography:Alex M.

This presentation begins by reviewing the fundamentals and key characteristics of social networks, along with primary challenges such as community detection, link prediction, and influence maximization. We then explore how these problems can be framed as multi-objective optimization tasks that require balancing multiple goals simultaneously. To address these problems, a knowledge-driven computational approach is presented that guides the optimization process by leveraging various sources of knowledge extracted from the network structure. Finally, we discuss the effectiveness of this approach in handling the complex and dynamic nature of social <a href="http://networks.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="networks.Speaker(s):">networks.Speaker(s): Pooya Moradian ZadehBldg: School of Computer Science, Advanced Computing Hub, 4th Floor, 300 Ouellette Ave., Windsor, Ontario, Canada |

In the history of Antenna Engineering, there has been only one universal method to steer the beam of any fixed-beam antenna. That’s physically tilting the antenna. This method has been implemented in many commercial antenna systems using motorised mechanical tilting and rotating systems. Now there is another way: Near-Field Meta-Steering, in which two planar phase-gradient metasurfaces (MS) are placed very close to the fixed-beam antenna, in its near field, and are rotated independently. This way, the beam of the antenna can be steered over a large range of zenith angles and complete azimuth range of 3600, without tilting or rotating the antenna. In fact, no part of the system is <a href="http://tilted.A" target="_blank" title="tilted.A">tilted.A Meta-Steering antenna system is only slightly taller than the antenna itself. Lack of tilting means it is much shorter than conventional tilting antennas. In the future, one electronically reconfigurable near-field metasurface may provide 2D beam steering without any mechanical <a href="http://rotation.Since" target="_blank" title="rotation.Since">rotation.Since this method was introduced in the seminal paper in 2017, together with the Near-Field Phase Transformation concept, it has been applied by many industry and academic researchers across the globe to develop novel antenna systems, and to steer the beam of all types of fixed-beam antennas, e.g. Fabry-Perot/resonant cavity antennas, reflector (dish) antennas, metasurface antennas, slot arrays, holographic antennas, and even some end-fire antennas, to name a few. Several different types of metasurfaces have been developed, e.g. standard printed-circuit-board type, all dielectric, all metal, hybrid and 3D-printed, and some research outcomes have led to national prizes and awards.
