DESCRIPTION:Greetings!\n\nSPS\, IEEE Hyderabad Section\, in collaboration w
 ith The MathWorks India Private Limited\, Hyderabad\, is organizing a Dist
 inguished Industry Lecture on “Phase-Based Time-Frequency Filtering as a
 n Alternative to the Classical Beamforming” by Dr. Akihiko K. Sugiyama\,
  Dr. Eng.\, Damascus Corporation / Tokyo Metropolitan University\, on 18th
  August 2025\, from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM at The MathWorks India Private Limi
 ted\, Hyderabad.\n\nThe event will also feature an IEEE SPS Chapter Hydera
 bad Section Student Branch SPS Faculty Advisors Meet-up.\n\nAbstract\nThis
  talk introduces phase-based time-frequency filtering as an alternative to
  classical beamforming. In this approach\, classical beamforming is decomp
 osed into direction-of-arrival estimation and direction-based attenuation.
  Such decomposition frees the design of the directivity pattern from senso
 r arrangement constraints\, enabling the creation of sharp beams with a sm
 all number of sensors.\n\nAs an example\, audio beamforming for PC applica
 tions will be presented\, along with a design technique that achieves a co
 nstant beam-width across frequencies in multiple channels. Evaluation resu
 lts demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach\, confirming the succes
 sful realization of constant beam-width designs.\nSpeaker :Akihiko K. Sugi
 yama\, Dr. Eng. Damas.cus Corporation/Tokyo Metropolitan University\n\nSpe
 aker’s Biography\n\nDr. Akihiko K. Sugiyama brings over 40 years of expe
 rience in developing telecommunications\, speech\, and audio signal proces
 sing systems for both consumer and network products. He has a proven track
  record of technology adoption in commercial products and international st
 andards\, with numerous publications and granted patents. His career uniqu
 ely combines research excellence with marketing and sales expertise—deve
 loping over 300 new global contacts in just two years and conducting proof
 -of-concept evaluations with world-leading companies for technical licensi
 ng.\n\nHe represented Japan in ISO/IEC MPEG Audio standardization\, servin
 g as Interim Chair of the Audio Subgroup at the Angra dos Reis Meeting in 
 Brazil\, and has also contributed to ITU and 3GPP standardizations. Bridgi
 ng industry and academia\, Dr. Sugiyama has over 25 years of university te
 aching experience\, supervising 75 internship students.\n\nTo date\, he ha
 s delivered 232 invited talks across 101 cities in 31 countries\, and rece
 ived 25 awards\, including the prestigious 2024 Industry Innovation Award 
 from the IEEE Signal Processing Society. He is the sole or co-inventor of 
 273 registered patents in Japan and abroad.\n\nDr. Sugiyama is a Fellow of
  IEEE and an Honorary Member and Fellow of IEICE. He has served as a Disti
 nguished Lecturer for the IEEE Signal Processing Society (2014–2015) and
  IEEE Consumer Electronics Society (2017–2018)\, as well as a Distinguis
 hed Industry Speaker for the IEEE Signal Processing Society (2020–2021).
  In 2020\, the IEEE Consumer Electronics Society recognized him as a Renow
 ned Distinguished Speaker (“The Rock Star”).\n\nLimited seats availabl
 e. Registration is mandatory and will close at 5:00 PM on 16th August. D
 on’t miss this opportunity!\nHappy to connect with you all.[]\n\nAgenda:
