 xcessive data traffic and the increasing number of connected devices\, exi
 sting communications solutions are posing unprecedented challenges in term
 s of capacity\, latency\, heterogeneity\, mobility\, coverage\, energy eff
 iciency\, and reliability. Given the demand for full connectivity\, as par
 t of the post 5G era\, non-terrestrial and terrestrial networks integratio
 n will be a challenging mission that will necessitate redefining a multi-d
 imensional and fully orchestrated system in terms of sensing\, communicati
 ons\, computing\, and intelligence. In this talk\, I will present non-conv
 entional approaches to address the problems in a non-terrestrial and extre
 me environment\, i.e.\, underwater. Intelligent and behavior-aware probabi
 listic solutions will be discussed\, with the goal of achieving robust ada
 ptation in terms of required Quality of Service and Quality of Experience 
 to meet the demands in a variety of scenarios.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\n\nDr. Mehd
 i Rahmati (IEEE Senior Member) is an assistant professor in the Department
  of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Cleveland State Univers
 ity in Ohio. His research is in the areas of wireless communications\, und
 erwater communications\, and coordination in distributed autonomous system
 s. He received his PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2020 from
  Rutgers University in New Jersey. He has published numerous peer-reviewed
  papers and has received many prestigious awards\, including the IEEE Ocea
 nic Engineering Society Young Professional Award in 2022 and 2023\, the be
 st demo award at the 2019 IEEE International Conference on Sensing\, Commu
 nication\, and Networking (SECON)\, the first prize in the 2019 IEEE Commu
