CEMSE Weekly Updates - September 30, 2025 Tue, Sep 30 2025 Newsletter Upcoming Events Stay informed about the upcoming events and the latest news from CEMSE. AI for Science: AI-Driven Knowledge Discovery Dongxiao Zhang, Chair Professor, Faculty of Engineering; Provost and Executive Vice President, Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo (EIT) Oct 2, 14:30 - 15:30 B1 L3 R3119 AI machine learning This talk focuses on the latest progress in this area, often called AI for Science, and specifically on how AI is revolutionizing scientific exploration and the uncovering of fundamental physical laws. Silicon-Based mm-Wave Phased-Arrays for 5G/6G and SATCOM Abdulrahman Alhamed, Assistant Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering Oct 5, 12:00 - 13:00 B9, L2, R2325 The rapid growth of data-intensive applications is creating unprecedented challenges and opportunities in telecommunications. With 5G already leveraging mmWave spectrum and 6G targeting peak data rates approaching 1 Tbps, future networks will demand even broader spectrum allocations across the mmWave and sub-THz bands. Affordable phased arrays have emerged as a cornerstone of this evolution, offering directive communication to overcome severe free-space path loss while enabling narrow beamwidths, high interference tolerance, and adaptive nulling. FIFA Research Institute Silvio Giancola, Research Scientist, Image and Video Understanding Lab Oct 6, 12:00 - 13:00 B9 L2 R2325 AI Sports FIFA This talk will trace the journey from SoccerNet to the creation of the FRI, highlight ongoing projects that bridge cutting-edge research with real-world impact, and discuss what lies ahead at the intersection of AI and sports. Block Low-Rank Matrices for Modern Scientific Computing Daria Sushnikova, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Sciences and Engineering Oct 9, 12:00 - 13:00 B9 L2 R2325 Block low-rank matrices provide framework for compressing and accelerating large-scale computations. In this talk, I will introduce the basic principles behind these matrix formats, highlight notable algorithms that exploit their structure, and discuss their growing role in modern computational mathematics. Applications ranging from seismic imaging and computational biology to artificial intelligence will be used to illustrate the broad impact of block low-rank methods on science and engineering.
