Sharawi\, Ph.D.\, P.E. (ing.)\ , Fellow-IEEE\nRF/Communications Lead (Principal Eng)\, Blue Origin LLC\, WA\, USA\nAffiliate Full-Professor with the ECE Department at the Universi ty of Washington\, USA \, (former Research Group Lead and Tenured Full-Pro fessor of Electrical Engineering at Polytechnique Montreal\, Canada)\nIEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Distinguished Lecturer (2023-2025)\nIEEE Seattle AP/MTT/ED joint Chapter Co-Chair (2024)\n\nTopic: Space: A new fe rtile potential for AI\nAbstract\nSpace vehicles and networks are evolving at an unprecedented rate in history. The era\nof Mega satellite constella tions\, massive connectivity\, cheap access to space via\nreusable launch vehicles\, plans to land humans to the moon as well as considering\nhuman landing on mars is already in the work. Intelligent\, reconfigurable and a daptive\nnetworks and computing systems are key in adjusting mission links \, decisions and\nmore.\nArtificial Intelligence (AI) is the new paradigm that is being integrated with various\ntechnologies to make things cheaper with smarter decision-making capabilities. AI relies on high end computin g platforms that suffer from high energy consumption. This talk will prese nt several new dimensions where AI might be a candidate to help in future Space applications with a focus on some of the latest Blue Origin contribu tions to space\, in addition to some of the collaborative work with NASA o n future Lunar missions.\n\nBio\nMohammad S. Sharawi is currently a Princi pal Engineer at Blue Origin\, LLC\, where he\nis leading the development o f antenna and radio-frequency (RF) systems for space\napplications. He is also an affiliate Full-Professor of Electrical Engineering at the\nUnivers ity of Washington\, Seattle\, USA. He has been developing antenna solution s for\n4G\, 5G and sub-THz applications (from bio-sensors\, to base statio n and satellite arrays) during his 20 years tenure as a Professor of Elect rical Engineering at various institutions around the world since 2006. He joined the Space Industry early 2023.\nHe has 28 granted antenna related p atents with the USPO\, and more than 430\nPublications in refereed journal s and international conferences in addition to 3 Books in the field. He ha s major contributions in MIMO antenna systems\, active reconfigurable ante nnas\, mm-wave antenna arrays and encapsulated dielectric resonator antenn as (DRAs).\nHe is a Fellow of the IEEE and serves as a Distinguished Lectu rer (DL) for the\nAntennas and Propagation Society (APS).\n\nParking Link.
