F or people with disabilities and compromised health\, loss of communication can result in very poor outcomes. Dr. Shikik Johnson will present the (Cy bersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency):\n\nhttps://www.cisa.gov/res ources-tools/programs/shared-resources-shares-high-frequency-hf-radio-prog ram\n\nSHAred RESources (SHARES) High Frequency (HF) Radio program provide s an additional means for users with a national security and emergency pre paredness mission to communicate when landline and cellular communications are unavailable. SHARES members use existing HF radio resources to coordi nate and transmit messages needed to perform critical functions\, includin g those areas related to leadership\, safety\, maintenance of law and orde r\, finance\, and public health.\n\nNational security and emergency prepar edness (NS/EP) personnel need to transmit critical messages to coordinate emergency operations even when traditional means of communicating via land lines and cellphones are damaged or destroyed. The SHAred RESources (SHARE S) High Frequency (HF) Radio Program\, administered by the Department of H omeland Security’s (DHS) [National Coordinating Center for Communication s](https://www.cisa.gov/resources-tools/programs/national-coordinating-cen ter-communications) (NCC)\, provides an additional means for users with a NS/EP mission to communicate when landline and cellular communications are unavailable.\n\nSHARES members use existing HF radio resources of governm ent\, critical infrastructure\, and disaster response organizations to coo rdinate and transmit emergency messages. SHARES users rely on HF radio com munications to perform critical functions\, including those areas related to leadership\, safety\, maintenance of law and order\, finance\, and publ ic health. This program also provides the emergency response community wit h a single interagency emergency message handling and frequency sharing sy stem. SHARES promotes interoperability between HF radio systems and promot es awareness of applicable regulatory\, procedural\, and technical issues. \n\nMore than 3\,290 HF radio stations—representing over 590 federal\, s tate\, and industry organizations located in all 50 states\, the District of Columbia\, and several locations overseas—are resource contributors t o the SHARES HF Radio Program. Nearly 500 emergency planning and response personnel participate in SHARES. Approximately 200 HF radio channels are a vailable for use by SHARES members.\n\nMembership in the SHARES program is voluntary. SHARES is available on a 24-hour basis and requires no prior c oordination or activation to transmit messages. Members consult the SHARES Handbook to find stations\, frequencies and/or Automatic Link Establishme nt (ALE) addresses of participating organizations they need to communicate /coordinate with. Participating SHARES HF radio stations accept and relay messages until a receiving station is able to deliver the message to the i ntended recipient.\n\nDr. Shikik Johnson joined AT&T in 2013 as an Electro magnetic Analyst to work on the now called AirGig™ project. His extensiv e experience in electromagnets and materials merged with the disciplines o f Electrical Engineering and Materials facilitated interest in communicati ons technologies using light. Dr. Shikik Johnson worked on microwave-activ e materials in an attempt to design low-powered miniaturized solid-state d evices. Part of his focus involved what role highly polarizable ions situa ted in the prototypical perovskite-type crystal structure can play in dyna mically tuned microwave antennas. This work led to novel discoveries in mi crowave impedance matching techniques over wide frequency ranges which are very valuable today in the midst of emerging 5G technologies.\n\nAwards a nd Honors Include: NSF International Research\; Alfred Sloan Fellowship\; NASA Space Consortium Scholarship\; 40 patents with AT&T pertaining to the AirGig™ Project.\n\nDr. Shikik Johnson has extensive experience in elec tromagnets and materials earning his PhD from Penn State Intercollege Grad uate Program in Materials\, Materials Research Laboratories (MRL) under Ro bert Newnham where he was able to custom tailor his education merging the disciplines of Electrical Engineering with Materials to facilitate his int erest in communications technologies using light. While at MRL\, Shikik wo rked on microwave-active materials in an attempt to design low-powered min iaturized solid-state devices. Part of his focus involved what role highly polarizable ions situated in the prototypical perovskite-type crystal str ucture can play in dynamically tuned microwave antennas. This work led Shi kik to novel discoveries in microwave impedance matching techniques over w ide frequency ranges which are very valuable today in the midst of emergin g 5G technologies.\n\nShortly before his PhD work\, Shikik worked for the Department of the Navy under the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Sa n Diego (SSC-SD) where he worked side by side with scientists and engineer s from diverse backgrounds on low-observable communications technologies. In fact\, it was his experience at SPAWAR that led Shikik Johnson to go ba ck to school to further his studies in the areas of Electromagnetics in or der that he could gain a better understanding of how light interacted with materials.\n\nAfter attaining his PhD in 2005 Shikik spent 3 years in the Mediterranean at the Univsersitá degli Studi di Salerno (University Stud ents of Salerno) in southern Italy (from 2006-2009) where he worked as co- Principle Investigator funded by the International Research Fellowship Pro gram on Cantor dust mathematical schemes applied to Fractal microwave ante nnas. There Dr. Shikik Johnson gained insights on how the European technic al community conduct research which proves valuable today when forging int ernational partnerships.\n\nDr. Shikik Johnson has received numerous fello wships\, namely\, NSF International Research Program\, Alfred Sloan Fellow ship\, NASA Space Consortium Scholarship\, Penn State Minority Fellowship\ , Penn State Research grant\, Penn State Initiation Research grant\, Gener al Motors Scholarship\, and most recently Shikik Johnson is the principal Inventor of 40 patents with AT&T pertaining to the AirGig Project. Relativ ely recently\, in 2015 Shikik became an Amateur Radio operator and current ly runs the SHARES program at AT&T’s Middletown NJ station.\n\nBorn in t he row homes of South Philadelphia\, Dr. Shikik Johnson has traveled a col orful path to this point with a long road ahead yet to be discovered.\n\nC o-sponsored by: North Jersey Section SIGHT\, WiE\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Shikik Johnson\, \n\nAgenda: \nIEEE Humanitarian Technologies Board Taenzer Webi nar Dr Shikik Johnson SHARES HF Radio Program\n\nIntroductions: Dr. Shikik Johnson\n\nHost and Panel\n\nAttendees\n\nPresentation\n\nDiscussion\n\nV irtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/379496 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/379496 ORGANIZER:kit.august@gmail.com SEQUENCE:92 SUMMARY:IEEE Humanitarian Technologies Board Taenzer Webinar Dr Shikik John son SHARES HF Radio Program URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/379496 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong><em>IEEE Humanitarian Technologies Board Taenzer Webinar Series: </em></strong></p>\n<p><strong><em>Dr Shiki k Johnson SHAred RESources (SHARES) High Frequency (HF) Radio Program: </e m></strong></p>\n<p><strong><em>Communication Emergency System and Methods </em></strong></p>\n<p>During emergencies including natural disasters\, ac cidents\, and terrorism\, for example during 9-11\, the communications net work can become compromised with associated risks to individuals and the c ommunity creating a humanitarian crisis.
