SUMMARY:Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces for Wireless Communications
DESCRIPTION:Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) have recently
 emerged as the new wireless communication research frontier with the goal
 of realizing metamaterial-coated smart and reconfigurable radio propagation
 environments via passive and tunable signal transformations. Featured by
 orders of magnitude lower hardware and energy cost than traditional active
 antenna-arrays and yet superior performance\, RISs are the new driving
 technology for future wireless networks\, especially for enabling them to
 migrate to higher frequency bands. RISs have the inherent potential of
 fundamentally transforming the current wireless network with active nodes
 solely into a new hybrid network comprising active and passive components
 co-working in an intelligent way\, so as to achieve a sustainable capacity
 growth with a low and affordable cost and power consumption. Therefore\,
 RISs have the potential to change how wireless networks are currently
 designed\, usher in that hoped-for wireless future\, and are regarded as an
 enabling technology for realizing the emerging concept of
 metamaterial-assisted smart radio environments (SREs). RIS-assisted SREs
 are a multidisciplinary research endeavor but are not well-understood. In
 this talk\, I will introduce the state of the art\, the research
 challenges\, and some recent research results at the crossroad of wireless
 communications\, electromagnetics\, physics\, and metamaterials. Source:

 Laurea (cum laude) and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the
 University of L'Aquila\, Italy\, in 2003 and 2007\, respectively\, and the
 Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (Doctor of Science) degree from
 University Paris-Sud\, France\, in 2013. Since 2010\, he has been with the
 French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS)\, where he is a CNRS
 Research Director in the Laboratory of Signals and Systems (L2S) of
 Paris-Saclay University – CNRS and CentraleSupelec\, Paris\, France. In
 Paris-Saclay University\, he serves as the Coordinator of the
 Communications and Networks Research Area of the Laboratory of Excellence
 DigiCosme\, and as a member of the Admission and Evaluation Committee of
 the Ph.D. School on Information and Communication Technologies. Currently\,
 he serves as the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Communications Letters\, and is a
 Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society and IEEE
 Communications Society. Also\, he serves as the Founding Chair of the
 Special Interest Group on Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces of the
 Wireless Technical Committee of the IEEE Communications Society. He is a
 Highly Cited Researcher (Clarivate Analytics\, Web of Science)\, a Fellow
 of the IEEE\, and a Fellow of the IET. In 2019\, he was a recipient of a
 Nokia Foundation Visiting Professorship for conducting research on
 metamaterial-assisted wireless communications at Aalto University\,
 Finland.
