This new par adigm has become the driven force for many new technologies\, such as smar t city\, smart home\, industry 4.0\, point of care (POC)\, to name a few. This lecture will give an overview of recent progress on 5G/B5G-connected IoT sensors and systems\, as well as security primitives and protocols for ultralowpower sensor. In the first part of this lecture\, I will discuss new types of lightweight\, flexible\, batteryless and wireless sensors bas ed on nanomaterial-based devices\, circuits\, and antennas. I will present several application examples\, including (1) all-graphene transparent sma rt contact lenses for real-time\, continuous monitoring of glucose level\, intraocular pressure\, and/or viral/bacterial pathogens\, and (2) flexibl e\, breathable\, and comfortable smart face masks for monitoring coughs\, mask wearing\, vital signs\, airborne pathogens\, and/or Infectious diseas es. In the second part of this lecture\, I will discuss how the concept of parity-time (PT)-symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonian\, first discovered i n quantum physics\, can be implemented using electronic circuitries and ap plied to improve sensitivity and resolvability of wireless micro/nano-sens ors\, with in-vivo demonstrations. I will also show new nanomaterial-based RF/analog circuits that enable encryption key generation for identificati on and authorization\, paving a new pathway towards RFID and IoT security primitives.\n\nCo-Hosts:\n\nThe UK and Ireland Sensors Council is cooperat ing with the University of Dublin Trinity\, the UK and Ireland AESS\, EMBS \, ComSoc\, Electronic Packaging and Reliability Joint Chapters and Nanote chnology Council to organise this Distinguished Lecture and Webinar on 20t h April 2026.\n\nRegistration:\n\nIEEE and non-IEEE Members are invited to Register and participate.\n\nIEEE Members should include their IEEE Membe rship Number when registering.\n\nAccess to online Meeting\n\nRegistered p articipants will be provided with the link prior to the event.\n\nSpeaker( s): Pai-Yen\, \n\nAgenda: \n18.00-18.05.
