Abstract: Nanobubbles (NBs) are promising ultrasound contrast agents capable of enhancing both vascular and extravascular imaging. Their spatially uniform scattering under repeated exposure enables consistent and durable enhancement. This study evaluates NB-enhanced ultrasound using compound amplitude modulation (cAM) and plane-wave imaging (PWI) on the Vevo F2 system (Fujifilm VisualSonics Inc.) in both phantoms and in vivo mice. Phospholipid-shelled NBs (~250 nm) were tested in phantoms (~10⁹ NBs/mL) and in mouse kidneys (~10¹¹ NBs/mL). While cAM was sufficient in phantoms, it was inadequate in vivo due to breathing motion and incomplete tissue suppression. To address this limitation, a new PWI-based methodology was developed for NB-enhanced imaging, integrating high-frame-rate acquisition and advanced signal processing to achieve robust vascular visualization without amplitude modulation or pulse inversion. This approach establishes a practical framework for NB-enhanced vascular ultrasound imaging and demonstrates strong potential for preclinical and clinical <a href="http://translation.350" target="_blank" title="translation.350">translation.350 Victoria Street, Toronto Metropolitan University, Room: KHE321C, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5B 2K3

Join us for the fifth session of the exciting webinar series on "New Frontiers in Signal Processing in 6G Wireless Networks", a collaboration between IEEE Signal Processing, IEEE Communications Society chapters in Ottawa, and IEEE ComSoC Young <a href="http://Professionals.Register" target="_blank" title="Professionals.Register">Professionals.Register now and stay tuned for updates on upcoming speakers and topics!Speaker(s): Prof. Hina TabassumAgenda: The next generation of wireless networks will no longer be confined to moving bits — they will sense, communicate, and learn simultaneously. This convergence is anticipated to enable distributed intelligence across devices, unlocking new capabilities for real-time perception and decision-making in dynamic environments. In this talk, two complementary advances in federated signal processing will be presented. First, an over-the-air federated edge learning (OTA-FEEL) framework with integrated radar sensing will be discussed. By leveraging echoes from the environment, rather than treating them solely as interference, robust model aggregation will be maintained while ensuring high-quality sensing and communication performance. A joint scheduling and beamforming design will be presented, supported by low-complexity optimization techniques, to preserve aggregation accuracy under realistic wireless conditions. Second, FedTrack, a novel federated learning–inspired algorithm for distributed target tracking, will be presented. By treating local log-likelihood functions as loss functions in a distributed optimization framework, FedTrack enables devices to collaboratively estimate a moving target’s position and velocity. This communication-efficient method closely approximates centralized maximum likelihood estimation, achieving accuracy near the Cramér–Rao bound while reducing reliance on a central coordinator. Together, these developments illustrate how federated intelligence over the air can transform 6G networks into systems that not only communicate but also sense and learn collaboratively. Implications for autonomous systems, smart cities, and beyond will be discussed, with emphasis on the central role of signal processing innovations in realizing this <a href="http://vision.Virtual:" target="_blank" title="vision.Virtual:">vision.Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/510260

Abstract: Unstructured documents often come with embedded structured data. Representing valuable and structured information as tables is popular in health, financial, and many domains. However, manual extraction of structured information from documents typically costs tremendous time and labor, motivating the need for a system for automating the process. After such tables have been extracted, the data can be used for a wide variety of tasks such as question answering and various “down-stream” analytics tasks. In this talk, we will discuss how to leverage ground-breaking pre-trained language models (e.g., BERT, ChatGPT) to develop tools for automated table extraction from various types of documents. We will present different applications from cancer registry reporting, cancer care, and psychiatry hospitalization <a href="http://prediction.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="prediction.Speaker(s):">prediction.Speaker(s): Raymond NgRoom: CSF-1302, Bldg: Core Science Facility , 45 Arctic Avenue, St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

This session provides a technical overview of tradeoffs in the use of precision, multi-lane millimeter-wave test fixtures for empirical characterization of 200G and 400G silicon SerDes. Measurement data from 67 GHz and 110 GHz channel emulators are analyzed, with emphasis on the impact of higher order modes in coaxial test cables relative to 200G and 400G Nyquist frequencies. For 224G SerDes, results demonstrate the ability to trade test cable loss at Nyquist against modal bandwidth, maintaining at least 20% BW margin. The discussion extends to candidate signaling strategies for 400G, evaluating whether these trends persist as modulation formats and channel requirements evolve. The findings inform the design and validation of next-generation serial PHYs, highlighting physical layer constraints and opportunities for advancing high-speed data center <a href="http://interconnects.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="interconnects.Speaker(s):">interconnects.Speaker(s): Andrew Josephson, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/505970

As human-centric services continue to flourish in the 6G era, enabling seamless interaction between humans and digital systems requires more than traditional communication paradigms. Semantic communication (SemCom) has thus emerged as a critical enabler for the Human Digital Twin (HDT)—a virtual representation of individuals that reflects their cognitive, behavioral, and physiological states. By prioritizing the transmission of meaning rather than raw data, SemCom significantly enhances the efficiency and contextual relevance of HDT interactions. This presentation introduces several SemCom-driven HDT frameworks that integrate semantic encoding, representation alignment, and knowledge-grounded compression to enable personalized and context-aware communication. We detail the architectural integration of SemCom into HDT systems and emphasize core enabling technologies such as semantic integrity and privacy protection, semantics-aware transmission optimization, context-grounded semantic inference, cognitive-aware personalization, and generative intelligence integration. Through case studies, we demonstrate how SemCom empowers HDT to support adaptive, efficient, and meaningful services, particularly in domains such as healthcare and cognitive monitoring. Finally, we outline future research challenges and highlight the central role of SemCom in unlocking the full potential of HDT within intelligent human-centric <a href="http://systems.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="systems.Speaker(s):">systems.Speaker(s): Jun Cai, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/507886

The world is nonlinear and linked. Small-gain theory is one of the most important tools to tackle fundamentally challenging control problems for interconnected linear and nonlinear systems.

This planning is required to meet the desired Quality of Service objectives (e.g. high bit-rates for Wi-Fi networks) along with safety standards for exposure of users to radiated emissions, and to ensure compatibility with existing systems. Wireless propagation modeling, which is the prediction of the electromagnetic field levels generated by a wireless communication system, is an essential element of such an intelligent planning process. These models can be deduced by numerical algorithms based on the physics of electromagnetic wave propagation, or by <a href="http://measurements.Software-based" target="_blank" title="measurements.Software-based">measurements.Software-based planning is a reality in several areas, including the design of environmentally friendly buildings, where simulation tools are used to optimize heat and air flow. The question is how to enable a similar approach for wireless infrastructure that is becoming as indispensable as any other infrastructure <a href="http://element.This" target="_blank" title="element.This">element.This presentation is aimed at demonstrating that machine learning enabled propagation models can address this question, overcoming the dichotomy between accuracy and efficiency that has dominated this area for decades. We give an overview of the most recent advances in the field, including neural networks that can accurately predict, in real-time, signal strength levels of indoor and outdoor wireless networks by processing the geometry and the position of one or more transmitters. We discuss the use of such models for the rapid placement of massive numbers of access points of wireless networks, such as those providing wireless connectivity to spectators in large sports venues. Finally, we show that this research leads to reliable “digital twins” of wireless communication systems.

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.

Abstract:Data center, compute, and AI applications continue to demand higher bandwidth from electrical interconnects. The volume of short-reach links (less than a few cm) has exploded to facilitate high-bandwidth data movement between compute engines and memory in the AI era. This massive growth will continue as the industry moves towards highly-parallelized die-to-die interfaces to support chiplet-based architectures. However, power efficiency in these links is of paramount importance to maintain reasonable power levels within a compute drawer. This talk will focus on trends and advancements in power-efficient short reach links that aim to maximize the shoreline bandwidth density. Multi-disciplinary approaches involving circuit innovations, architectural advancements, data signaling techniques, and packaging technologies are required to deliver linear bandwidth densities above 1 Tbps/mm at power efficiencies below 500 fJ/<a href="http://bit.Timothy" target="_blank" title="bit.Timothy">bit.Timothy (Tod) Dickson received the B.S. and M.Eng. degrees from the University of Florida, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Toronto.
