John Baras

Topic:

Next Generation Hybrid Networks and their Management

Biography:

John S. Baras (IEEE Life Fellow) is a Distinguished University Professor, holding the Lockheed Martin Chair in Systems Engineering and a Permanent Joint Appointment with the Institute for Systems Research (ISR) and the ECE Department at the University of Maryland Col- lege Park (UMD). He received his Ph.D. degree in Applied Mathematics from Harvard University, in 1973, and he has been with UMD since then. From 1985 to 1991, he was the Founding Director of the ISR. Since 1992, he has been the Director of the Maryland Center for Hybrid Networks (HYNET), which he cofounded. He is a Fellow of IEEE (Life), SIAM, AAAS, NAI, IFAC, AMS, AIAA, Member of the National Academy of Inventors(NAI) and a Foreign Member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA). Major honors and awards include the 1980 George Axelby Award from the IEEE Control Systems Society, the 2006 Leonard Abraham Prize from the IEEE Communications Society, the 2017 IEEE Simon Ramo Medal, the 2017 AACC Richard E. Bellman Control Heritage Award, and the 2018 AIAA Aerospace Communications Award. In 2016 he was inducted in the University of Maryland A. J. Clark School of Engineering Innovation Hall of Fame. In June 2018 he was awarded a Doctorate Honoris Causa by his alma mater the National Technical University of Athens, Greece. His research interests include systems, control, optimization, autonomy, machine learning, artificial intelligence, communication networks, applied mathematics, signal processing and understanding, robotics, computing systems, formal methods and logic, network security and trust, systems biology, healthcare management, modelbased systems engineering. He has been awarded nineteen patents, one software copyright, and honored with many awards world-wide, as innovator and leader of economic development.

Sumit Roy

Topic:

Automotive Radar Networks

Biography:

Sumit Roy (Fellow, IEEE 2007) received the B. Tech. degree from the Indian Institute of Technology (Kanpur) in 1983, and the M. S. and Ph. D. degrees from the University of California (Santa Barbara), all in Electrical & Comp. Engineering (1985 and 1988 re- spectively), as well as an M. A. in Statistics and Applied Probability (1988). His previous academic appointments were at the Moore School of Electrical Engineering, the University of Pennsylvania, and at the University of Texas, San Antonio. His research interests and technology expertise spans analysis/design and prototyping of wireless communication systems/networks, with an emphasis on various technologies: 5G wireless LANs (802.11ax), 5G New Radio and emerging 5G/beyond 5G standards for vehicular (terrestrial and airborne) networks, multi-standard inter-networking/coexistence and dynamic spectrum access solutions for spectrum sharing. He was elevated to IEEE Fellow by the Communications Society for ``contributions to multi-user communications theory and cross-layer design of wireless networking standards” and held the ECE-CoE Integrated Systems Term Professorship (2014-19) at Univ. of Washington in recognition of his international reputation in the area.
He continues to be professionally active in IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) - notably IEEE Future Networks Initiative (https://futurenetworks.ieee.org/) for which he currently serves as Distinguished Lecturer. He has served as Associate Editor for all the major ComSoc publications (IEEE Trans. Communications, IEEE J. Sel. Areas of Communications, IEEE Trans. on Wireless Communications, IEEE Trans. Mobile Computing) at various times and was previously selected for two stints as IEEE ComSoc Distinguished Lecturer (2013-2015, 2017-18). He was also elected to Executive Comm. Member for the National Spectrum Consortium (www.nationalspectrumconsortium.org). Between Sep. 2020-22, he served as Program Lead for Innovate Beyond 5G program within US DoD Office of Under Secy. R&E’s 5G-to-xG initiative https://www.cto.mil/5g.
