DESCRIPTION:The IEEE Austin Joint Societies&#39; Chapters of ComSoc\, Signal Pr
 ocessing\, Consumer Electronics and EMBS and Computer are pleased to bring
  a Virtual Distinguished Lecture event on\n\n“What&#39;s the Story with UAV 
 Cellular Communications?”\n\nDay:\n\nMay 13\, 2021\n\nTime:\n\nNoon pm C
 entral Time\n\nLocation:\n\nWebEx (Dial-in information will be provided sh
 ortly)\n\nSPEAKER:\n\nGiovanni Geraci\n\nAssistant Professor at University
  Pompeu Fabra (UPF)\, Barcelona\,\n\nCoordinator of the Bachelor&#39;s degree 
 in Telecommunications Network Engineering\n\nAbstract\n\nWhat will it take
  for UAVs—and the associated ecosystem—to take off? Arguably\, ubiquit
 ous high-capacity links paired with hyper-reliable command and control all
  along. And indeed\, meeting these aspirations may entail a full-blown mob
 ile network support. While the understanding of UAV cellular communication
 s has been advancing\, many fundamental challenges remain to be addressed\
 , with new applications demanding original solutions. In this talk\, we bl
 end academic and industrial views\, navigating from 4G to 6G UAV use cases
 \, requirements\, and enabling technologies.\n\nIn this talk\, we blend ac
 ademic and industrial views\, navigating from 4G to 6G UAV use cases\, req
 uirements\, and enabling technologies.\n\nBIO:\n\nI am an Assistant Profes
 sor at University Pompeu Fabra (UPF) in Barcelona\, and the coordinator of
  the Bachelor&#39;s degree in Telecommunications Network Engineering. I was pr
 eviously a Research Scientist with Nokia Bell Labs and hold a Ph.D. from U
 NSW Sydney. I also held research appointments at the Singapore University 
 of Technology and Design\, The University of Texas at Austin\, CentraleSup
 elec\, and Alcatel-Lucent.\n\nI am a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Co
 mmunications Society\, an Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Com
 munications and IEEE Communications Letters\, and the Wireless Communicati
 ons Symposium co-Chair for IEEE ICC’22. I am a frequent organizer of IEE
 E international workshops\, have featured in over ten IEEE industry semina
 rs\, tutorials and workshop keynotes\, and am co-Editor of the book “UAV
  Communications for 5G and Beyond” (Wiley – IEEE Press\, 2020). I am c
 o-inventor of a dozen patents\, have written for the IEEE ComSoc Technolog
 y News\, and received international press coverage.\n\nI was awarded two o
 f the most competitive early-career research fellowships in Spain: a “la
  Caixa” Junior Leader (2018-2021) and a “Ramon y Cajal” (2021-2026) 
 Fellowship. I was named an Exemplary Reviewer for the IEEE Transactions on
  Wireless Communications in 2017 and 2018. I received the Nokia Bell Labs 
 Ireland Certificate of Outstanding Achievement in 2017\, the IEEE Communic
 ations Society Outstanding Young Researcher Award for Europe\, Middle-East
 \, and Africa in 2018\, and the IEEE PIMRC Best Paper Award in 2019.\n\nAb
 out me: I like coffee\, surprises\, and living by the sea. Born and raised
  in Sicily\, I have been living across six continents for work/love/advent
 ure. I have been inspired by great mentors and colleagues\, and consider m
 yself privileged for the opportunities I was given.\n\nPLEASE RSVP.\n\nIf
