I had the privilege of presenting at IEEE Research and Application of Photonics in Defense (RAPID) with a talk titled " FE3.7 - Revolutionizing Infrared Detection in Defense Applications: A Nanophotonic Approach Leveraging 2D Materials for Enhanced Mid-IR Absorption." In addition, together, as the Chair of IEEE Young Professionals for Region 5 (OKC), and Dr. Yaser (Mike) Banad, as the Chair of IEEE Computer Society Region 5 (OKC), had an incredible opportunity to host the exhibition, representing IEEE Region 5, IEEE Computer Society, IEEE Photonics Society, and IEEE Young Professionals. It was a fantastic experience engaging with students, answering their questions about how IEEE can support their future success, and encouraging them to get involved with our society. We also had the pleasure of connecting with numerous faculty members, brainstorming ideas, and inviting them to encourage their students to become part of the IEEE community. A heartfelt thank you to Lauren Mecum-Smith, Matthew Ramandi, Lisa Sandt, Jeffrey Wilson, Sara Aminpour, and everyone else who made this opportunity possible. Your support was invaluable in helping us serve the IEEE society and fostering the next generation of professionals. Let’s continue to inspire and grow our community together! 💡 #IEEE #RAPID2024 #YoungProfessionals #Engineering #Photonics #WomenInEngineering #ComputerSociety #ProfessionalGrowth University of Oklahoma – Gallogly College of Engineering

We are thrilled to share that our paper titled "IQ-code for PDL and Crosstalk Mitigation in Nyquist-WDM Transmission based on DSC" has been accepted for publication in the IEEE Journal of Lightwave Technology! In this work, we address critical challenges in Nyquist-WDM systems, specifically focusing on the crosstalk resulting from lnter-channel-interferance and polarization-dependent loss (PDL) that limits transmission capacity. We introduce a novel digital MIMO coding technique, IQ-code, which enhances the performance of dual-polarized WDM systems by mitigating PDL and demonstrating resilience against crosstalk and non-linearity. Notably, our technique simplifies decoding while achieving up to a 1.5 dB gain over 1000 km. A huge thank you to co-authors Akram ABOUSEIF, Rami Klaimi, Ghaya Rekaya-Ben Othman, Yves Jaouen, and Jamal Darweesh for their contributions. 📄 Read the full paper here : https://lnkd.in/ebG2m-H8 . #Research #Photonics #WDM #IEEE #Innovation #OpticalCommunications #LightwaveTechnology

Update on my IEEE Photonics Society Distinguished Lecturer activity — I recently gave my first on-site lecture this year at the Tokyo Section Chapter on August 21. The event was co-hosted by the Optica and SPIE student chapters at The University of Tokyo (as a belated update, on May 14, I also delivered virtual lectures for the IEEE PS Malaysia Chapter and the Tianjin University Chapter). The lecture went great, with both on-site and online attendance and many insightful questions during the Q&A session. I'm grateful to Rhona Hamilton for organizing and hosting the seminar. Upcoming (confirmed) seminars are scheduled in Seoul (August 30), Ryn, Poland (September 10), Melbourne (October 7), and Holmdel, New Jersey (October 24). On August 22, I also had the pleasure of joining the Ultrafast Optoelectronics (UFO) study group meeting at Chiba Institute of Technology. It was wonderful to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones, including Katsuya Oguri, Takuro Ideguchi, Yasuyuki Ozeki, Masatoshi Fujimoto, and many others. I was especially delighted to meet Prof. Takayoshi Kobayashi - I first met him over 20 years ago at a conference when I was still a student, and he remains as active and curious as ever, asking numerous questions at every talk! All the presentations were excellent, and I learned a great deal. Special thanks to Sze Set for inviting me to both the IEEE seminar and the UFO meeting in Tokyo!

As the advancement of large-scale quantum computers continues, it’s become more important than ever to proactively address potential cybersecurity risks. The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recently announced the standardization of three new post-quantum cryptography schemes, with a fourth underway. These new standards are expected to be crucial in securing the future of the Internet, replacing previous standards established in the 1970s. Read more on IEEE Spectrum: https://bit.ly/4dV6gTf

New Open Access Article in the IEEE #Photonics Journal on IEEE Xplore. Read the article "The Voltage-Ear – An Anomaly in Photovoltaic Systems With Undersized Inverters" here: https://lnkd.in/eEAzcDsn Impact Statement: Our manuscript introduces a novel approach for the automated detection and analysis of a phenomenon termed the voltage ear, which arises from inverter clipping in photovoltaic systems. Not directly causing harm, the voltage ear might serve as an indicator for critical issues like PID or inverter malfunctioning. We believe that publishing the results of this study would be useful for planning, operating and maintaining PV-systems.
