3D Glass Antennas
Abstract
For a long time, transparent antennas have been of planar (2D) structures that are based on the theory of patch antenna. Very recently, 3D transparent antennas have also been developed. The principle of 3D transparent antenna is based on the theory of dielectric resonator antenna (DRA); the resonance is caused by the whole 3D structure rather than a confined cavity as found in the patch-antenna case. The basic characteristics of glass DRA will be elucidated through the design of a hemispherical glass DRA. This glass DRA has been used as a focusing lens for a solar-cell panel, and the results of both the antenna and solar-cell panel parts will be shown.
Today, many modern buildings have antennas installed for indoor wireless communications. By using transparent DRAs as covers of the light sources, the antenna and lighting systems can be combined into one. Their installations can be done in one go, reducing the overall installation work and cost of the two systems. Also, since the light-cover DRA simply appears as part of the lighting system, it is an excellent camouflage antenna. Different light-cover DRAs will be given in this talk.
3D transparent antennas can also be designed as aesthetic glass wares or artworks. This idea is especially useful when camouflage antennas are needed due to psychological reasons. The results of the aesthetic glass antennas will be presented. Finally, glass antennas for other applications will be discussed in this talk.

Machine Learning Based Automatic Medical Image Analysis
Abstract:
Medical image analysis is going through great changes with tremendous new opportunities showing up. The rise of machine learning, the rise of big data analytics and the rise of cloud computing, have brought wonderful opportunities to invent a new generation of medical image analysis. This talk will share my experience in developing state-of-the-art methods to help physicians to analyze the huge growing medical data and make the right and early decision.
Topics of this talk will include fully-automated abnormality classification and recognition for Endoscopy images. Validation results will be presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of our methods to deal with medical problems.

Talk Title: Employing Discretization in Metasurface Design
The metasurface has emerged as a highly desirable tool for manipulating electromagnetic waves, with wide ranging applications in imaging and communication. Most metasurfaces are designed with a continuously varying impedance and/or susceptibility profile. These continuous surface parameters are then approximated by discrete metasurface elements. Fine discretization — using about 10 – 12 elements per wavelength — is often practiced to avoid discretization effects. In this talk, I shall provide some motivations for coarse-discretization –– using as few as two elements per period. I will present my groups’ past and recent works on passive and active discretized Huygens’ metasurfaces, which will showcase both obvious and somewhat surprising benefits to using as few metasurface elements as possible. Beyond reporting our recent progress, I shall also highlight promising application directions for the discretized Huygens’ metasurface.
