+ +## 2023, Experimental Demo at Brooklyn 6G Summit +Our group conducted a live experimental demo at the Brooklyn 6G Summit. In this demo, we presented a hybrid classical-quantum computing framework for solving the joint channel estimation and optimization problem for RIS-assisted wireless communications. Our demonstration included transmitter and receiver antennas with no line-of-sight link while using an RIS to create a virtual line-of-sight link. The antennas are connected to USRP N210 Software Defined Radio (SDR). An interactive interface is provided to plot in real time the configuration of the RIS, channel gain, received constellation, and decoded message data. + +The work is in collaboration with Amitava Ghosh and Frederick Vook in the Radio Interface Group at Nokia Standards, and Gabriele Gradoni at the University of Surrey. + ## 2023, Best Student Paper Award (2nd prize) at NEMO'2023 Charles Ross received the Best Student Paper Award (2nd prize) at the IEEE MTT-S International Conference on Numerical Electromagnetic and Multiphysics Modeling and Optimization (NEMO). The title of the paper is “A Hybrid Classical-Quantum Computing Framework for RIS-assisted Wireless Network”. In this paper, we proposed and experimentally validated a quantum-assisted computing framework that allows for ultra-fast optimization of RIS-assisted smart radio environment. By leveraging the computing power of quantum adiabatic evolution and mathematics of tensor contraction, the onsite optimization of RIS configuration can be performed rapidly using only feedback (received power) at wireless endpoints. The outcomes enable the possibility of ultrafast joint channel estimation - optimization in dynamic wireless environments. +## 2023, Dr. Eric K. Walton Graduate Award at ECE Illinois +Charles Ross has been chosen as the recipient of the 2022-2023 Dr. Eric K. Walton Graduate Award. This award is presented to a graduate student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering who has demonstrated excellence in research in the area of antennae design, radar studies, or radio waves. + + ## 2023, Young Scientist Award at the URSI GASS 2023 Dr. Shen Lin received a Young Scientist Award at the XXXVth URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium (URSI GASS 2023).
