DESCRIPTION:Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are emerging as key enablers fo
 r various applications such as advanced air mobility\, emergency response\
 , and rural connectivity. However\, their safe and scalable integration in
 to the National Airspace System (NAS) depends on resilient wireless commun
 ication and efficient spectrum management frameworks. This talk presents o
 ur ongoing research projects to address spectrum considerations for UAV ap
 plications. We will discuss experimental flight campaigns and testbed deve
 lopment at the University of Kansas to study Command and Control (C2) and 
 payload communication links. We will highlight spectrum challenges unique 
 to aerial platforms\, including dynamic interference patterns and coexiste
 nce in shared bands. We will conclude by introducing new algorithms for ag
 ile spectrum sensing\, AI-native scheduling\, and multi-link connectivity\
 , which are designed to meet the requirements of beyond-visual-line-of-sig
 ht (BVLOS) flight operations.\n\nSpeaker(s): Professor Morteza Hashemi\, \
