Congratulations to NC State ECE Assistant Professor Suresh Venkatesh on being selected to participate in the EU-US Frontiers of Engineering (EU-US FOE) program by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE).
EU-US FOE brings together outstanding early-career European and American engineers from academia, industry and research institutions to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and methodology for the purposes of creating collaborative networks of engineers. Participation in the symposium is by invitation only, with just 30 engineers selected from the US and 30 from the EU each year.
“I am honored and grateful for this recognition of the work my group and I are pursuing,” said Venkatesh. “To be considered among the top early-career researchers in the field of Future Wireless Communications underscores not only the impact of our research, but also the exciting opportunities ahead in advancing integrated communication and sensing technologies.”
“The chance to connect with so many brilliant minds at the symposium, and pursue new ideas and collaborations, makes this especially meaningful to me.”
Venkatesh directs the Integrated Communication and Sensing Lab (ICaSL) at NC State, where he focuses on developing integrated chip-scale platforms and radio frequency systems that operate across the electromagnetic spectrum. Applications include high-speed secure communications, high-resolution sensing and advanced imaging, to name a few.
Recently, his research group has used innovative hardware-algorithm co-design strategies to pioneer Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) platforms. ISAC platforms are multifunctional wireless systems that use the same signals and hardware for both communication and environmental sensing; thus, they enable a single wireless infrastructure to perform various tasks (ex: object detection, high-resolution imaging and tracking), while simultaneously facilitating high-speed data transfer. At the symposium, Venkatesh will highlight his group’s ongoing research in advancing ISAC technologies on integrated platforms.
The 2025 EU-US FOE symposium will be held from October 20-23 in Bordeaux, France. This year’s conference will focus on four key areas: Crypto Systems and New Age of Distributed Consensus; Future Wireless Communications/Connecting the Unconnected; Internet of Medical/Bio Things; and Circular Economy of Polymers.
