Sharawi.\n\nHarding Building 143 - Classroom\n\n6pm - 6:45pm Distinqui shed Lecture\n\nEXCOM immediately follow 7PM - 8:30pm\n\nDistinquished Lec ture:\nMohammad S. Sharawi\, Ph.D.\, P.E. (ing.)\, Fellow-IEEE\nRF/Communi cations Lead (Principal Eng)\, Blue Origin LLC\, WA\, USA\nAffiliate Full- Professor with the ECE Department at the University of Washington\, USA \, (former Research Group Lead and Tenured Full-Professor of Electrical Engi neering 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 fertile potential for AI\nA bstract\nSpace vehicles and networks are evolving at an unprecedented rate in history. The era\nof Mega satellite constellations\, massive connectiv ity\, cheap access to space via\nreusable launch vehicles\, plans to land humans to the moon as well as considering\nhuman landing on mars is alread y in the work. Intelligent\, reconfigurable and adaptive\nnetworks and com puting systems are key in adjusting mission links\, decisions and\nmore.\n Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the new paradigm that is being integrated with various\ntechnologies to make things cheaper with smarter decision-ma king capabilities. AI relies on high end computing platforms that suffer f rom high energy consumption. This talk will present 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 contributions to space\, in addit ion to some of the collaborative work with NASA on future Lunar missions.\ n\nBio\nMohammad S. Sharawi is currently a Principal Engineer at Blue Orig in\, LLC\, where he\nis leading the development of antenna and radio-frequ ency (RF) systems for space\napplications. He is also an affiliate Full-Pr ofessor of Electrical Engineering at the\nUniversity of Washington\, Seatt le\, USA. He has been developing antenna solutions for\n4G\, 5G and sub-TH z applications (from bio-sensors\, to base station and satellite arrays) d uring his 20 years tenure as a Professor of Electrical Engineering at vari ous institutions around the world since 2006. He joined the Space Industry early 2023.\nHe has 28 granted antenna related patents with the USPO\, an d more than 430\nPublications in refereed journals and international confe rences in addition to 3 Books in the field. He has major contributions in MIMO antenna systems\, active reconfigurable antennas\, mm-wave antenna ar rays and encapsulated dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs).\nHe is a Fello w of the IEEE and serves as a Distinguished Lecturer (DL) for the\nAntenna s and Propagation Society (APS).\n\nParking Link.
