Technologies such as LiFi\, Visible Lig ht Communication (VLC)\, and Free Space Optics (FSO) are gaining industria l interest for applications in smart manufacturing\, healthcare\, transpor tation\, and future 6G networks. This seminar presents an industrial persp ective on optical wireless technology\, covering its working principles\, current advancements\, standardization efforts\, key applications\, and co mmercialization challenges.\n\nBiography: Dr. Amir Khalid is a Research Sc ientist at NYUAD Wireless Center\, New York University\, Abu Dhabi. He has over 15 years of experience spanning academia and industry\, bringing dee p expertise in optical communications particularly in optical wireless com munication systems\, and a strong research aptitude for developing next-ge neration wireless technologies\, including 6G and beyond. Previously\, He has served as R&D Project Manager and Development Lead at Signify (formerl y Philips) in the Netherlands for eleven years\, where he was doing end-to -end design research and development of LiFi-based optical wireless commer cial products. He has also worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Elec tro-Optics Group at TU Eindhoven (TU/e) under the EU-FP7 BROWSE project\, which was focused on system (Tx/Rx) design for Hybrid Fiber/Optical wirele ss communication and system integration for beam steered reconfigurable op tical wireless system. He completed the Ph.D degree (with Cum Laude) in Op tics and Photonics from Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna\, Pisa\, Italy in Nov 2013. He is research driven and innovation-oriented professional\, and ha s authored over 40 scientific publications\, filed 11+ patents\, and activ ely contributed to standardization activities (e.g.\, ITU-T G.VLC and IEEE 802.11bb/br) as part of the LiFi Standardization Task Force.\n\nSpeaker(s ): \, Dr Amir Khalid\n\nUniversity of Dubai\, Academic City\, Emirates Roa d - Exit 49 - Dubai\, Dubai\, United Arab Emirates\, United Arab Emirates LOCATION:University of Dubai\, Academic City\, Emirates Road - Exit 49 - Du bai\, Dubai\, United Arab Emirates\, United Arab Emirates ORGANIZER:ddawoud@ud.ac.ae SEQUENCE:10 SUMMARY:Optical Wireless Technology: An Industrial Perspective  URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/584791 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">S peaker: Dr. Amir Khalid\, Research Scientist\, NYUAD </span></p>\n<p><span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">Title: Optical Wireless Technology: An Industrial Perspective&nbsp\;</span></p>\n<p><span data-olk-copy-source=" MessageBody">Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) is an emerging technolog y that enables high-speed\, secure\, and spectrum-efficient wireless commu nication using light instead of traditional radio frequencies.
