DESCRIPTION:Prof. Hagit Messer\nHagit Messer (Life Fellow\, IEEE) received
  the Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Tel Aviv University (TAU)\, Isra
 el. She was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Yale University\, USA and then joined
  the Faculty of Engineering\, TAU\, in 1986\, where she is currently the K
 ranzberg Chair Professor of signal processing with the School of Electrica
 l Engineering. Since 2005\, she has been leading a pioneering multidiscipl
 inary research group on the use of wireless communication for opportunisti
 c environmental monitoring.\nThe concept of integrated sensing and communi
 cation (ISAC) is gaining attention in the signal processing community\, es
 pecially in the context of 6G technologies. In this talk I will review the
  state of the art of the technology of weather sensing using existing meas
 urements from wireless commercial microwave links (CMLs). This technology\
 , first introduced in 2006\, can be interpreted as opportunistic ISAC or a
 s opportunistic IoT.\n\nThe fact that CML sensors are randomly distributed
 \, and each of them samples the 2-D field of interest (e.g.\, rain field) 
 as a nonlinear projection along a line\, raises interesting practical and 
 theoretical questions to their use for reliable reconstruction of the fiel
 d.  In this talk I will review the state-of-the art of the CML technology
  for weather sensing and will focus on future trends and on open problems.
 \n\nBesides dealing with its scientific and technological challenges\, I w
 ill discuss it as a test case for the interplay between academic research 
 results and their utilization for the public good.
