CEMSE Weekly Updates - February 10, 2026 Tue, Feb 10 2026 Newsletter Upcoming Events Stay informed about the upcoming events and the latest news from CEMSE. Tapping Into the Full Potential of the Stratosphere Mohamed-Slim Alouini, Al-Khawarzmi Distinguished Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering Feb 15, 12:00 - 13:00 B9 L2 R2325 HAPSs Large-scale Connectivity communication technology FSO systems Free-space optical communications optical connectivity This talk examines how High-Altitude Platform Stations (HAPS) leverage intelligent beam management and optical links to democratize broadband access and provide resilient solutions for disaster recovery. Eyes in the Sky: AI-Based Camel Identification and Tracking Using Drones Basem Shihada, Program Chair, Computer Science Feb 16, 12:00 - 13:00 B9 L2 R2325 AI drones animal tracking In this talk, I present a low-cost, AI-powered drone system capable of recognizing and tracking camels from the air. A Dichotomy of Continuous Finite Element Spaces and Its Application to Energy-Conservative Galerkin Methods for Nonlinear and Dispersive Wave Equations Dimitrios Mitsotakis, Reader/Associate Professor, Engineering Mathematics, School of Mathematics and Statistics, Victoria University of Wellington (VUW) Feb 17, 14:30 - 15:30 B1 L3 R3119 dispersive waves optimization Finite elements This talk illustrates why energy-conservative Galerkin methods for nonlinear and dispersive wave equations achieve optimal convergence rate with odd-degree polynomials. C1+alpha Regularity for the Fractional p-Laplacian David De Jesus, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Applied Mathematics and Computational Science Feb 19, 12:00 - 13:00 B9 L2 R2325 Mathematical modeling In this talk, we will discuss a recent result obtained in collaboration with Davide Giovagnoli and Luis Silvestre, where we solve a standing conjecture asserting that, as in the local setting, solutions of the homogeneous equation are still Hölder differentiable.
