ECE Interdisciplinary Seminar Series “Science & Technology With No Boundaries”
Our next presentation title: "Wireless Systems for the Brain, Vision, and Human Body: AI-Driven Platforms for Sensing, Imaging, and Neurotechnology"
Date/Time: Friday, February 20, 2:00–3:00 PM
Venue: ECE Conference Room (MEB 409):
Our presenter is Dr. Stavros Georgakopoulos, Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Director of the Transformative Antennas Center (TAC) at Florida International University. His presentation will highlight how recent advances in electromagnetics, antenna systems, and AI-driven computational tools—including modeling, inverse design, optimization, and inverse problem solving—are enabling transformative medical applications. These innovations are accelerating system design and unlocking new capabilities in neural decoding, wireless imaging, and real-time physiological monitoring.
The purpose of this monthly seminar series is to encourage UM researchers from diverse academic backgrounds work together on solving “big” problems of today and tomorrow. Launched in Spring 2023, these seminars have become popular among both students and faculty and led to a number of successful partnerships and initiatives withing the U and beyond.
Quantum Computing Club (QCC)
QCC meets every Friday, 3:30-4:30 PM, in MEB 404. We welcome all undergraduate and graduate students who are passionate about the field and would love to participate in our projects. We welcome students from a broad range of departments across the U, not just ECE!
We aim to use our interdisicplinary culture and collaborations in academia, industry and government to fill in the current gap to create reallife applications of quantum computing. We design and build actual circuits suitable for "low-hanging-fruit" applications, albeit, with transformational societal impacts.
Most importantly, our mission is to help Canes to embrace the rapidly growing excitement around quantum computing and build on the existing great legacy of the U!
