DESCRIPTION:By: Haitham Hassanieh - University of Illinois at Urbana Champ
 aign\n\nAbstract\nWireless networks and sensors have become entrenched int
 o every aspect of our lives\, playing a central role in our work and home 
 as well as many industries ranging from manufacturing to agriculture\, ene
 rgy\, and healthcare.  With the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT)\, th
 e increasing demand for mobile data\, and the move to online education and
  remote work due to the coronavirus pandemic\, the world is witnessing an 
 unprecedented boom in the number of wirelessly networked devices. This has
  generated significant challenges in designing wireless sensors and networ
 ks that can scale to efficiently handle the heterogeneous power\, throughp
 ut\, and reliability demands of various systems without compromising the u
 tility and security of the applications.\n\nIn this talk\, I will describe
  systems developed by my team to address the above challenges and build pr
 actical\, efficient\, and secure IoT and mobile technologies. First\, I wi
 ll describe how our work on millimeter wave (mmWave) 5G and 6G wireless ne
 tworks pushes the performance limits of such systems by enabling fast beam
 forming\, interference nulling and extremely dense spatial reuse. I will a
 lso discuss how we leverage mmWave signals to enable through-fog high-reso
 lution mmWave imaging for self-driving cars. Next\, I will highlight some 
 of the security threats in Acoustic IoT systems by describing the first of
  its kind attack on voice enabled devices. I will show to generate inaudib
 le sounds that can be recorded as audible signals on any microphone withou
 t the user’s knowledge and how to defend against such attacks. Finally\,
  I will touch on some of our work on enabling communication between micro 
 and nano-implants using biomolecular communication. I will also highlight 
 some of the open research problems in enabling a wirelessly connected worl
 d capable of addressing major challenges in smart and green environments\,
  healthcare\, and automation.\n\nBio\nHaitham Hassanieh is an assistant pr
 ofessor in the ECE and CS departments at UIUC where he leads the Systems a
 nd Networking Research Group (SyNRG). His research is in the areas of wire
 less networks\, mobile systems\, sensing\, and algorithms. Hassanieh's res
 earch was named as one of the world's top 10 breakthrough technologies by 
 Technology Review. He is also the recipient of the NSF Career Award\, the 
 Alfred Sloan Foundation Fellowship\, and the Google Faculty Research Award
 . His research has received best paper awards at ACM SIGCOMM and ACM MobiS
 ys. Hassanieh received his Bachelors from the American University of Beiru
 t (2009) and his Ph.D. from MIT (2016)\, where his thesis won the Sprowls 
 award for Best Doctoral Dissertation at MIT and the ACM Doctoral Dissertat
 ion Award.\n\nMore information
