Wireless networks are now an essential and integral part of modern life, seamlessly woven into the fabric of people’s daily routines. The traditional radio based wireless approach suffers from three major drawbacks: (1) RF communication relies on limited spectrum resources, leading to congestion and interference. (2) Traditional RF devices often consume significant energy, especially on mobile devices. (3) RF communication has security risks like eavesdropping and interference. In recent years, there has been a proliferation of low-cost and energy-efficient LEDs and cameras deployed ubiquitously. This trend opens up the exciting possibility of leveraging light for next-generation wireless networks. In this talk, I will share three key findings from my research in optical wireless communication, highlighting its potential applications in localization and sensing through machine learning. Firstly, I will introduce a novel framework LiFOD that leverages side-channels to enhance indoor LiFi with smooth dimming. Secondly, I will showcase U-Star, a cost-effective self-served underwater navigation system featuring self-illuminating 3D tags. Lastly, I will demonstrate RoFin, an optical camera communication-based digital health approach for human-computer interaction for individuals with Parkinson’s disorder. These findings contribute to the development of next-generation wireless networks, emphasizing human-centered, environmentally friendly and secure communication coupled with accurate location awareness. I will conclude by outlining my long-term vision for next-generation wireless networks, incorporating a multidimensional approach that integrates communication, cognition/control, and computation. Speaker(s): Xiao Zhang, Agenda: 11:00 AM Start of talk 12:00 PM Conclusions Room: Room 135, Bldg: Dodge Hall, 118 Library Drive, Rochester, Michigan, United States, 48326, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/405501

Talk: The University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Engineering is increasingly requiring students to complete hands-on projects as undergraduates. Lennon Rodgers, Director of the the Grainger Engineering Design Innovation Labs will present an overview of the MakerSpace and solicit feedback for ways to create engagements between members of IEEE and engineering students at UW-Madison. The talk will be followed by a brief tour of the Makerspace, after which pizza and beverages will be served. Background: The UW Makerspace is a community of designers and builders at UW-Madison within the College of Engineering (CoE). The Makerspace facilities include 25,000 ft2 of shop and flex space with a wide range of rapid prototyping equipment, made possible by a donation from the Grainger Foundation. Largely student run, the Makerspace strives to empower students by creating a community immersed in emerging technologies, focused on creating innovative products. The Makerspace is a part of the CoE ecosystem of fabrication facilities, called the Design + Innovation Labs, which comprises the Makerspace (rapid prototyping), TEAM Lab (Technical Education and Manufacturing Lab – precision machining, fee for service job-shop), the Design Hub (a coaching and training service) and the Kohler Innovation Visualization Studio (virtual & augmented reality, 3D scanning, and data visualization). The CoE fabrication facilities combined are over 40,000 ft2, run by 9 professional full-time staff members and ~60 student workers. Each space contains millions of dollars of high-tech equipment. Students can build anything here – from micro to macro and from virtual to the physical. Speaker: Lennon Rodgers is currently the Director of the Grainger Engineering Design Innovation Labs at UW- Madison. Educatinos indludes a PhD and M.S. from MIT and B.S. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (all mechanical engineering). Previously he worked at MIT as a Research Scientist and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory as an engineer. All of his research is related to engineering education and modeling, designing, building, instrumenting and testing complex systems ranging from spacecraft to electric vehicles.
