DESCRIPTION:Seminar by Professor Jack (Xuejun) Li\, Auckland University of 
 Technology\, New Zealand\n\nTitle: Towards Software-Defined Hardware: Past
 \, Present and Prospective\n\nDate: Wednesday\, 21 January 2026\, 10am.\n\
 nVenue: COSMO Lab meeting Room\, School of EEE S2-B3b-10\, NTU\n\nHost: Pr
 of Guan Yong Liang\, EEE NTU\n\nSynopsis (45 minutes): The past three deca
 des have witnessed a shift from rigid\, hardware-specific wireless systems
  to flexible\, software-defined radios. Yet\, the analog RF frontend remai
 ns a bottleneck\, limiting adaptability across emerging standards such as 
 6G\, IoT\, and beyond. This seminar explores the evolution towards softwar
 e-defined hardware—where antennas\, filters\, power amplifiers\, and oth
 er RF components become programmable and reconfigurable in real time. Draw
 ing on examples from reconfigurable antennas and low noise amplifiers\, I 
 will discuss both the technological advances and the remaining challenges.
  The talk will conclude with a forward-looking vision of fully software-de
 fined hardware ecosystems in 2035 and their implications for wireless netw
 orking research and practice.\n\n[Our people - Centre for Wireless and Int
 elligent Systems Engineering - AUT]\n\nBiography: Xuejun Li is a Full Prof
 essor and Programme Director for the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Pro
 gramme at the School of Engineering\, Computer and Mathematical Sciences\,
  Auckland University of Technology (AUT)\, New Zealand. He received his B.
 Eng (First Class Honors) and PhD in electrical and electronic engineering 
 from Nanyang Technological University (NTU)\, Singapore\, in 2004 and 2008
 \, respectively. Between November 2007 and July 2008\, he worked as a Rese
 arch Engineer and then as a Research Fellow at the Network Technology Rese
 arch Centre\, NTU. Between August 2008 and September 2008\, he worked as a
  Research Scientist in Temasek Laboratories @ NTU. From September 2008 to 
 May 2011\, he was with the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
 \, NTU as a faculty member. Between June 2011 and January 2013\, he worked
  as a Research Scientist at the Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R)\, Ag
 ency for Science\, Technology and Research (A*STAR)\, Singapore. Since Jan
 uary 2013\, he has been with the Department of Electrical and Electronic E
 ngineering\, School of Engineering\, Computer and Mathematical Science\, A
 UT. His research interests include design/analysis of wireless networking 
 protocols\, modelling/design of radio frequency integrated circuits\, syst
 em optimizations\, video compression and artificial intelligence.\n\nSinga
