Prof. Vivek Ashok Bohara of IIIT Delhi
Next generation of vehicular communication technologies: DSRC-V2X, VLC-V2X, RIS-V2X, Solar-V2X and much more.
Biography:
Dr. Vivek Ashok Bohara received the Ph.D. degree from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in 2011. From 2011 to 2013, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher (Marie Curie fellowship) in ESIEE Paris, University Paris-East where he was actively involved in designing and implementing critical blocks for wideband RF transmitters. Specifically, he proposed numerous green communication techniques to reduce power consumption and increase efficiency of nonlinear high power amplifiers used in RF transmitters. In 2013, he joined IIIT-Delhi, India, where he is currently Professor, Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering. He has authored and coauthored over 100 publications in major IEEE/IET journals and refereed international conferences, two book chapters, and three patents. Dr. Bohara also supervises the Wirocomm Research Lab at IIIT Delhi which deals with state of the art research in wireless communication and allied area and is also the co-founding faculty member for Li-Fi Centre of excellence @ IIIT-Delhi. His research interests are next-generation communication technologies such as Visible Light Communication (VLC), hybrid RF-VLC communication, integration of optical communication with intelligent reflective surfaces (IRS), UAV, and vehicular communication. Dr. Bohara received First Prize in National Instruments ASEAN Virtual Instrumentation Applications Contest in 2007 and 2010. He was also the recipient of the Best Paper Award at the IEEE ANTS 2022 and the best poster and demo awards at IEEE Comsnets 2016 and 2023 conferences respectively.
Dr. Nadine Abbas
UAV-Aided Strategies for Advancing Communications
Biography:
Dr. Nadine Abbas is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the Lebanese American University (LAU). She earned a BE degree in Computer and Communication Engineering from Notre Dame University (NDU) in 2008. She received her M.E. and Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the American University of Beirut (AUB) in 2011 and 2017, respectively. Dr. Abbas has received several awards including a visiting researcher position in 2012 at Intel Corporation USA, a scholarship from the Lebanese National Council for Scientific Research 2015-2017, and NDU’s Engineering Research Innovation Award in 2008. She is currently an IEEE Senior member and serves as the Membership Development officer of the IEEE Lebanon Section, the Vice Chair of the IEEE Women In Engineering Lebanon, the Membership Development officer of the IEEE Communication Society Lebanon, and a board member at Beirut AI. She was also appointed as chair of the IEEE Region 8 Ad Hoc Committee of Alternate Payment Methods in January 2023. She is currently the director of the Software Institute at LAU and a Google Women Techmakers Ambassador. Her research interests include mobile edge computing and wireless communications. The aim is to provide novel solutions that address emerging challenges in the design of next-generation heterogeneous wireless networks, including ultra-reliable and low-latency communication systems in the context of 5G/6G mobile and UAV-aided communications, Internet of Things, and cognitive vehicular-to-everything networks.
