Notable examples include alternative waveforms\, massive multiple-input multiple-o utput signaling\, non-orthogonal multiple access\, joint communications an d sensing\, AI-empowered systems\, and so on. In this context\, 6G wireles s networks will inevitably require a rethinking of wireless communication systems and technologies\, particularly at the physical layer\, since the cellular industry reached another critical milestone with the development of 5G wireless networks with diverse applications. Within this perspective \, first\, this talk aims to shed light on the most recent developments in reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-empowered communication towards 6G and beyond wireless networks by discussing promising candidates for fut ure research and development. Specifically\, we emphasize different RIS ar chitectures and emerging RIS use cases. Second\, taking RIS-based radio fr equency chain-free transmitters one step further\, we put forward the para digm of noise-driven communication. We discuss the potential of noise-driv en communication systems for three purposes: low/zero-signal-power transmi ssion by indexing resistors or other noise sources according to informatio n bits\, noise-alike waveform/modulation design for improved communication efficiency\, and unconditionally secure key generation using noise-based loops.\n\nBiography -\n\n[]\n\nProf. Ertuğrul Başar received his Ph.D. d egree from Istanbul Technical University in 2013. He is a Professor at the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering\, Koç University\, Istanbul\, Turkey\, and the director of the Communications Research and In novation Laboratory (CoreLab). He had visiting positions at Ruhr Universit y Bochum\, Germany (2022\, Mercator Fellow) and Princeton University\, USA (2011-2012\, Visiting Research Collaborator). His primary research intere sts include 6G and beyond wireless networks\, communication theory and sys tems\, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces\, software-defined radio implem entations\, waveform design\, physical layer security\, and deep learning and signal processing for communications. In the past\, Dr. Başar served as an Editor/Senior Editor for many journals\, including IEEE Communicatio ns Letters (2016-2022)\, IEEE Transactions on Communications (2018-2022)\, Physical Communication (2017-2020)\, and IEEE Access (2016-2018). Current ly\, he is an Editor of Frontiers in Communications and Networks. He is th e author/co-author of more than 170 international journal publications and 16 patents that received around 15K citations. He also supervised 5 PhD a nd 18 master’s students. He is an Associate Member of the Turkish Academ y of Sciences (TÜBA). In recognition of his outstanding contributions to physical-layer design for next-generation wireless networks\, Prof. Basar was elevated to IEEE Fellow in 2023\, becoming one of the youngest IEEE Fe llows of Turkey at the age of 37. He is also a Fellow of the Asia-Pacific Artificial Intelligence Association (AAIA) and the Artificial Intelligence Industry Academy (AIIA). Recently\, Dr. Basar has been selected as an IEE E ComSoc Distinguished Lecturer for the Class of 2024-2025.\n\nSpeaker(s): Prof. Başar\, \n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/443554 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/443554 ORGANIZER:messaoud.ahmed.ouameur@uqtr.ca SEQUENCE:46 SUMMARY:From Intelligent Surfaces to Noise-Driven Communication: Innovative Technologies for 6G and Beyond URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/443554 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left\ ;" align="center"><strong><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt\; li ne-height: 107%\; font-family: 'Times New Roman'\,serif\;">From Intelligen t Surfaces to Noise-Driven Communication: Innovative Technologies for 6G a nd Beyond</span></strong></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: lef t\;" align="center"><strong><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt\; line-height: 107%\; font-family: 'Times New Roman'\,serif\;">Prof. Ertuğr ul Başar</span></strong></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: lef t\;" align="center"><strong><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt\; line-height: 107%\; font-family: 'Times New Roman'\,serif\;">Ko&ccedil\; U niversity\, Turkey &ndash\;&nbsp\;<a href="mailto:ebasar@ku.edu.tr">ebasar @ku.edu.tr</a></span></strong></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align : left\;" align="center"><strong><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0 pt\; line-height: 107%\; font-family: 'Times New Roman'\,serif\;">When: De cember 6th 2024\, 11H00 AM Quebec-Canada Local Time</span></strong></p>\n< p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left\;" align="center"><strong><spa n lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt\; line-height: 107%\; font-family: 'Times New Roman'\,serif\;">Where: ONLINE VIA ZOOM: </span></strong><span style="font-family: 'Aptos'\,sans-serif\; color: black\;"><a href="https: //uqtr.zoom.us/j/81521084215?pwd=bchQDndZg7DTlpVuaeag6bhGwaOvn9.1">https:/ /uqtr.zoom.us/j/81521084215?pwd=bchQDndZg7DTlpVuaeag6bhGwaOvn9.1</a></span ></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Aptos'\,sans-serif\ ; color: black\;">Meeting ID : 815 2108 4215</span></p>\n<p class="MsoNorm al"><span style="font-family: 'Aptos'\,sans-serif\; color: black\;">Passwo rd : 018477</span></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp\;</p>\n<p class="MsoNor mal" style="text-align: justify\;"><strong><span lang="EN-US" style="font- family: 'Times New Roman'\,serif\;">Abstract -</span></strong><span lang=" EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'\,serif\;"> Our community has witnessed the rise of many exciting communication technologies in recent y ears.
