Introduction to the Institute of Communications Engineering,network science,
Abstract:
In this talk we will briefly introduce the Institute of Communications Engineering followed by three
technical talks. The first talk introduces an exciting new interdisciplinary topic involving with mathematics, physics,
biology and computer science. This branch of science is called network science. Particularly,
Prof. Chang will talk about three hot research subjects within network science. They are synchronization, network
formation models and community detection problems.
The second technical talk will be given by
Prof. Chi. Convex analysis and optimization along with available software has been recognized as a powerful tool for solving a wide range of science and engineering problems. Over the last decade, convex optimization has been employed successfully in solving various problems in signal processing and communications engineering, as we recently have applied it to Blind Source Separation (BSS) and biomedical and hyperspectral image analysis in signal processing, as well as coherent/noncoherent detection and channel estimation, space-time coding, distributed signal processing, beamforming, and resource allocation in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Communications and Networking. I’ll present some successful application examples in this short talk.
The third talk will be given by Prof. Huang. Math plays a vital role in various areas of Engineering. However, Math has many branches and each area of Engineering needs different Math. When we first learn abstract algebra, many of us may "assume" that we most likely will never use it again after graduation. The main objective of this talk is to "disprove" this false assumption. Numerous successful mathematicians in the field of communications engineering are hard evidences for the following fact: Mastering abstract algebra will not only give you good grades in the Math department. It also paves the way for the success in communications engineering.
