This talk primarily focuses on integrating cutting-edge nanomaterials and polymers into planar microwave structures, a strategy promising considerable sensor technology advancements. These materials, characterized by their unique properties, have the potential to significantly enhance the sensitivity, selectivity, and resolution of microwave sensors. Such enhancements enable these sensors to effectively function within the high-frequency, high-bandwidth landscape of emerging 5G and 6G applications.

[] Prof. Shlomi Dolev, Executive Director of the BGU-Negev Hi-Tech Faculty Startup Accelerator, will present on Post Quantum Internet. The need for a post-quantum Internet is emerging, and this is a great opportunity to re-examine the legacy of public key infrastructure. There is a need for perspective on the evolution of cryptography over the years, including the perfect information-theoretical secure schemes and the computationally secure schemes, in particular. There is also a need to examine the evolving Internet infrastructure to identify efficient design and secure cryptographic schemes over the existing Internet infrastructure. A combination of overlay security, blockchain, and Merkle trees with Lamport’s signatures offers just such an easily implementable post-quantum Internet over the existing Internet. The talk will cover recent research that resulted in start-ups creation initiatives, including Secret Double Octopus, SecretSkyDB, SodsBC.

Abstract for 360 Mentoring talk: Plants appear to grow effortlessly all around us except in Deserts and Rocks. But, when you try to grow them, you face a lot of challenges, even to maintain established trees. I bought my house with 17 productive fruit trees, none left now. Who attends to them in the forest? Animals, birds, insects and even “other plants” help the forest thrive. Growing and maintaining Careers is the same thing. Just getting a degree, landing a job, and executing assignments does not guarantee a successful career. A lot of nurturing goes into it. Many who have become successful will often give credit to their mentors for many of their accomplishments. This presentation will attempt to offer an insight into finding and making the most of mentors throughout your Engineering Journey. Topics: 1. Engineering Journey 2. Plants Vs Mentoring 3. Influencers of your Journey – Sponsors Vs Mentors, Who are Influencers ? 4. Mentoring 360 Concept 5. Challenges faced by College Students 6. Different types of Mentors for Students 7. Rules of the Game for Student Mentees 8. Summer Internship Basics 9. Making the most of Internships 10.360 Mentoring Summary and Conclusion Co-sponsored by: Anisha Apte Speaker(s): Chitra Bldg: Gateway South 122, Hoboken, New Jersey, United States

Special Presentation by Junaid Islam Hosted by the Future Networks INGR Security and Privacy Working Group Date/Time: Friday, April 12th, 2024 @ 10am CDT / 11am EDT Talk Title: The Increasing Threats Of State Sponsored Cyberattacks Short Bio: Junaid Islam has 35 years of experience in secure communications. His protocols, algorithms and architectures have been incorporated into a broad range of commercial and US national security networks. Junaid began his career in the late 80s as an Expeditionary Communications Technician. In the 90s he developed the first implementation of Multi-Level Precedence and Preemption (MLPP) for US Department of Defense C2 applications using Frame Relay at StrataCom. At Cisco Junaid contributed to the priority queuing and buffer management for MPLS routing. Junaid next developed the first working Mobile IPv6 client to enable fast hand-off as well as IPv6 address scrambling for high side networks for the DoD’s Netcentric Warfare program. Most recently Junaid developed the first network-based Zero Trust Architecture using Software Defined Perimeter (SDP) which was adopted by NIST for their Zero Trust specification 800-207. Currently Junaid is developing new protocols for secure Smart City applications such as Energy and Transportation systems. Additionally Junaid also developed a new packet scheduling algorithm for wireless communications that integrates priority, network load and RF interference data. This new algorithm will be incorporated by NASA to enable multi-hop space communications. https://junaidislam.org/ Co-sponsored by: IEEE Future Networks Speaker(s): Junaid Islam Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/416815
