DISTINGUISHED LECTURE at the ECE SEMINAR SERIES

Abstract

Finland established globally the first program for 6G research and development in 2018 as national flagship. The vision of data-driven sustainable future society enabled by wireless connectivity covered topics from fundamental technology research to human-centric services and applications. The broad scope has enabled a large number of research directions and global collaborators studying various potential solutions towards the next generation of communications and sensing. This talk will focus on aspects related to communications hardware and gives some selected examples of the research funnel.
