DESCRIPTION:Title: Extreme IoT: Wireless &amp; Sensor Technologies for Oceans\,
  Health\, and Robotics\n\nSpeaker: Dr.Fadel Adib (MIT)\n\nLocation: Virtua
 l\n\nDate: Monday\, March 22\, 2021\n\nTime: 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM EST\n\nCos
 t: The virtual event is free to attend.\n\nRegistration: You can register 
 at https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/264128\n\nAbstract:\n\nThe evolution o
 f communication technologies over the past 140 years has enabled ubiquitou
 s connectivity with billions of sensors globally. However\, today’s tech
 nologies still face fundamental obstacles\, which prevent them from seamle
 ssly extending to complex domains like the ocean\, the human body\, or sup
 ply chain environments.\n\nIn this talk\, I will describe new technologies
  developed by my group that allow us to bring the Internet-of-Things (IoT)
  to extreme environments. First\, I will describe a new generation of unde
 rwater sensor networks that can sense\, compute\, and communicate without 
 requiring any batteries\; our devices enable real-time and ultra-long-term
  monitoring of ocean vitals (temperature\, pressure\, coral reefs) with im
 portant applications to scientific exploration\, underwater climate monito
 ring\, and defense. Next\, I will talk about new wireless technologies for
  sensing the human body\, both from inside the body (via micro-implants) a
 s well as from a distance (contactless)\, paving the way for novel diagnos
 tic and treatment methods. Finally\, I will describe new RFID-based micro-
 logistics solutions that can bring extreme visibility to supply chain proc
 esses\, with applications to retail\, warehousing\, and manufacturing\; th
 ese technologies also allow us to extend robotic perception beyond line-of
 -sight\, enabling robots to perform complex manipulation tasks that were n
 ot possible before.\n\nThe talk will cover how we have designed and built 
 these technologies\, and how we work with medical doctors\, climatologists
 \, oceanographers\, and industry practitioners to deploy them in the real 
 world. I will also highlight the open problems and opportunities for these
  technologies\, and how researchers and engineers can build on our open-so
 urce tools to help drive them to their full potential in addressing global
  challenges in climate\, health\, and automation.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\n\nFadel
  Adib is the Doherty Chair of Ocean Utilization at MIT and Associate Profe
 ssor in the Media Lab and the Department of Electrical Engineering and Com
 puter Science. He is also the founding director of the Signal Kinetics gro
 up which researches wireless and sensor technologies for health\, computin
 g\, and climate. Adib was named by Technology Review as one of the world
 ’s top 35 innovators under 35 and by Forbes as 30 under 30\, and his res
 earch was recognized as one of the 50 ways MIT has transformed Computer Sc
 ience. Adib’s commercialized technologies have been used to monitor thou
 sands of patients with Alzheimer’s\, Parkinson’s\, and COVID19\, and h
 e has had the honor to demo his work to President Obama at the White House
 . Adib is also the recipient of various awards including the NSF CAREER Aw
 ard (2019)\, the ONR Young Investigator Award (2019)\, the ONR Early Caree
 r Grant (2020)\, the Google Faculty Research Award (2017) and the Sloan Re
 search Fellowship (2021)\, and his research has received Best Paper/Demo A
 wards at SIGCOMM\, MobiCom\, and CHI. Adib received his Bachelors from the
  American University of Beirut (2011) and his PhD from MIT (2016)\, where 
 his thesis won the Sprowls award for Best Doctoral Dissertation at MIT and
  the ACM SIGMOBILE Doctoral Dissertation Award.\n\nMeeting link:\n\nhttps:
