Compared to 5G\, 6G wireless netw orks will be required to have more stringent performance requirements\, es pecially as far as energy efficiency is concerned. A major 6G candidate te chnology is the use of metasurfaces. In this context\, one issue to tackle is the huge number of design variables to optimize. The talk will address the use of metasurface technologies for wireless networks\, with focus on radio resource allocation techniques. Different instances of wireless net works and uses of metasurfaces will be discussed. Several optimization tec hniques for metasurface-aided wireless networks will be analyzed\, discuss ing their complexity and performance.\n\nBiography: Alessio Zappone receiv ed his Ph.D. from the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio (Cassino\, Italy) in 2011. From 2012 to 2016 he was with the Dresden University of Te chnology\, managing the project CEMRIN on energy-efficient resource alloca tion in wireless networks\, funded by the German research foundation (DFG) . In 2017 he was the recipient of the H2020 Marie Curie IF BESMART fellows hip for experienced researchers\, carried out at the LANEAS group of Centr aleSupelec (Gif-sur-Yvette\, France). Since 2019\, he is a tenured profess or at the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio.\n\nHis research intere sts lie in the area of communication theory and signal processing\, with m ain focus on optimization techniques for resource allocation and energy ef ficiency maximization. For his research he received the 2021 Marconi Award \, the 2023 Fred Ellersick Award\, and the 2024 Best Tutorial Paper Award of the IEEE Communications Society. Alessio currently serves as senior are a editor for the IEEE Communications Letters and Editor of the IEEE Transa ctions on Wireless Communications. He has been elevated to IEEE Fellow in the 2025 class.\n\nBldg: NTU\, EEE Executive Seminar Rm (S2.2-B2-53) \, Si ngapore\, Singapore\, Singapore LOCATION:Bldg: NTU\, EEE Executive Seminar Rm (S2.2-B2-53) \, Singapore\, S ingapore\, Singapore ORGANIZER:chau.yuen@ntu.edu.sg SEQUENCE:4 SUMMARY:Seminar: Optimization techniques for metasurface-based wireless net works URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/533855 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Seminar by Prof. Alessio Zappone\, IEEE Fellow</strong></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp\;< /p>\n<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Title</strong>: Optimization techniques for metasurface-based wireless networks</p>\n<p class="MsoNormal"><strong> &nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Date</strong>:&nbsp\;2 Feb 2026 (Monday) 10 am.</p>\n<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>&nbsp\;</strong ></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Venue</strong>: EEE Executive Seminar Rm (S2.2-B2-53) NTU</p>\n<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>&nbsp\;</strong></p> \n<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Host:</strong><span style="font-size: 11.0p t\; line-height: 115%\; font-family: 'Times New Roman'\,serif\; mso-bidi-t heme-font: minor-bidi\;"> </span>Chau Yuen\, EEE NTU</p>\n<p class="MsoNor mal"><strong>&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify\; text-justify: inter-ideograph\;"><strong>Abstract:&nbsp\;</stro ng>With 5G rolled-out\, the attention of the research community is shiftin g towards the development of candidate technologies for 6G wireless networ ks.
