Career, Leadership and Professional Development that IEEE can provide Dr. Don Tan Organized by IEEE San Diego Section and Qualcomm Abstract： IEEE is the largest global network of professionals and volunteers dedicated to promoting engineers and scientists and to inspiring members worldwide to follow their own technical interests/inspirations within engineering and science. To inspire and encourage members working and succeeding in a technological field, Dr. Tan will give a talk based on his rich personal experience and extensive knowledge through functional/project management and technology/product development. The webinar will be followed by a Q&A session and a discussion where you can interact directly with the speaker. We welcome you to ask your questions when you register. Planed topics include: 1) Development of career paths; 2) Career and work-life balance; 3) Career plans and role models for long-term career inspiration; 4) Synergies in leadership skills between work and volunteering for IEEE; and 5) Finding a mentor/sponsor through your workspace and through IEEE volunteering. Speaker(s): Dr. Don Tan Agenda: Monday, September 16, 2024 3:30 pm- 5:00pm Pacific Time Any questions, please contact Dr. Zhensheng Zhang at [email protected] Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/433886

Abstract: In this talk, we focus on the recent developments toward integrated sensing and communications (ISAC). We consider a broad definition of coexistence, which covers ISAC, collaborative communications, and sensing with interference. Toward fully realizing the coexistence of the two systems, optimization of resources for both new/futuristic sensing and wireless communications modalities is crucial. These synergistic approaches that exploit the interplay between state sensing and communications are both driving factors and opportunities for many current signal processing and information-theoretic techniques. In addition, a large body of prior works considers colocated ISAC systems while distributed systems remain relatively unexamined. Building on the existing approaches, the tutorial focuses on highlighting emerging scenarios in collaborative and distributed ISAC, particularly at mm-Wave and THz frequencies, highly dynamic vehicular/automotive environments that would benefit from information exchange between the two systems. It presents the architectures and possible methodologies for mutually beneficial distributed co-existence and co-design, including sensor fusion and heterogeneously distributed radar and communications. The tutorial also considers recent developments such as the deployment of intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRS) in ISAC, 5G systems, passive internet-of-things, and ISAC secrecy rate optimization. This tutorial aims to draw the attention of the radar, communications, and signal processing communities toward an emerging area, which can benefit from the cross-fertilization of ideas in distributed systems.
