Please RSVP by: March 22\, 2021.\n\nTalk Title: Extreme IoT: Wireless & Sensor Technologies for Oceans\, Health\, and Robotics\n\nSpeaker: Dr.Fa del Adib (MIT)\n\nLocation: Virtual\n\nDate: Monday\, March 22\, 2021\n\nT ime: 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM EST\n\nCost: The virtual event is free to attend.\ n\nAbstract:\n\nThe evolution of communication technologies over the past 140 years has enabled ubiquitous connectivity with billions of sensors glo bally. However\, today’s technologies still face fundamental obstacles\, which prevent them from seamlessly extending to complex domains like the ocean\, the human body\, or supply chain environments.\n\nIn this talk\, I will describe new technologies developed by my group that allow us to bri ng the Internet-of-Things (IoT) to extreme environments. First\, I will de scribe a new generation of underwater sensor networks that can sense\, com pute\, and communicate without requiring any batteries\; our devices enabl e real-time and ultra-long-term monitoring of ocean vitals (temperature\, pressure\, coral reefs) with important applications to scientific explorat ion\, underwater climate monitoring\, and defense. Next\, I will talk abou t new wireless technologies for sensing the human body\, both from inside the body (via micro-implants) as well as from a distance (contactless)\, p aving the way for novel diagnostic and treatment methods. Finally\, I will describe new RFID-based micro-logistics solutions that can bring extreme visibility to supply chain processes\, with applications to retail\, wareh ousing\, and manufacturing\; these technologies also allow us to extend ro botic perception beyond line-of-sight\, enabling robots to perform complex manipulation tasks that were not possible before.\n\nThe talk will cover how we have designed and built these technologies\, and how we work with m edical doctors\, climatologists\, oceanographers\, and industry practition ers to deploy them in the real world. I will also highlight the open probl ems and opportunities for these technologies\, and how researchers and eng ineers can build on our open-source tools to help drive them to their full potential in addressing global challenges in climate\, health\, and autom ation.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\n\nFadel Adib is the Doherty Chair of Ocean Utiliza tion at MIT and Associate Professor in the Media Lab and the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He is also the founding dire ctor of the Signal Kinetics group which researches wireless and sensor tec hnologies for health\, computing\, and climate. Adib was named by Technolo gy Review as one of the world’s top 35 innovators under 35 and by Forbes as 30 under 30\, and his research was recognized as one of the 50 ways MI T has transformed Computer Science. Adib’s commercialized technologies h ave been used to monitor thousands of patients with Alzheimer’s\, Parkin son’s\, and COVID19\, and he has had the honor to demo his work to Presi dent Obama at the White House. Adib is also the recipient of various award s including the NSF CAREER Award (2019)\, the ONR Young Investigator Award (2019)\, the ONR Early Career Grant (2020)\, the Google Faculty Research Award (2017) and the Sloan Research Fellowship (2021)\, and his research h as received Best Paper/Demo Awards at SIGCOMM\, MobiCom\, and CHI. Adib re ceived his Bachelors from the American University of Beirut (2011) and his PhD from MIT (2016)\, where his thesis won the Sprowls award for Best Doc toral Dissertation at MIT and the ACM SIGMOBILE Doctoral Dissertation Awar d.\n\nMeeting link:\n\n[https://ieeemeetings.webex.com/ieeemeetings/j.php?
