May 10 | NAISE Workshop
5G+ Communication for Science
Leads: Randall Berry (NU-ECE/NAISE), Rajkumar Kettimuthu (ANL-MCS/NAISE), Begum Gulsoy (NU-MSE/NAISE)
Northwestern-Argonne Institute of Science and Engineering (NAISE) lead a workshop in the area of Advanced Wireless Communication on May 10. This workshop aimed to develop a research agenda for advanced wireless communications (including 5G+) to support science applications.
- Seeking to identify the scientific application requirements for advanced wireless communications and their differences with the industry requirements.
- Understanding the gaps in RAN and core in addressing the scientific application requirements.
- Identifying research opportunities.
- Discussing operation challenges including spectrum usage for research/testbeds and potential solutions.
The keynote speaker for the event was Amitava Ghosh, NOKIA Fellow and Head of Radio Interference Group at NOKIA Bell Labs. Dr. Ghosh's presentation was entitled On the Path to 6G: Industry Alignment and Collaboration are Key to Make it a Success. [AGENDA]
April 21 | NAISE Workshop
Microelectronics
Leads: Charudatta Phatak (ANL-MSD/NAISE), Pedram Khalili (NU-ECE), Begum Gulsoy (NU-MSE/NAISE)
Northwestern-Argonne Institute of Science and Engineering (NAISE) is organizing a 1-day workshop in the area of microelectronics to explore collaborative opportunities between Northwestern and Argonne. The workshop aims to convene scientists and faculty to identify key strengths and complementary capabilities at both institutions. We also anticipate participation from industry in this workshop. A limited virtual option will be available for those who are not able to travel.
The workshop focused on four high-level topics [AGENDA]:
- Materials Discovery and Characterization
- Circuits
- Intergration: Bridging Materials, Devices and Circuits
- Workforce Development
