Title: What will it take for wireless communications to conquer the sky?      

Abstract: UAVs, or drones, could drive extraordinary societal transformations. Imagine a future where autonomous delivery drones, flying taxis, and air ambulances soar through the skies, taking mobility to new heights and redefining how we commute and where we live and work. In this talk, we will discuss how wireless networks could help make the fly-and-connect dream come true by shifting the current ground-focused paradigm and providing ultra-reliable 3D aerial connectivity.

Biography: Giovanni Geraci is an Associate Professor and the Head of Telecommunications at Univ. Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona. He was previously with Nokia Bell Labs, holds a dozen patents on wireless technologies, and is a co-Editor of the book “UAV Communications for 5G and Beyond”. Giovanni has been serving as Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE ComSoc and VTS and he received the IEEE ComSoc EMEA Outstanding Young Researcher Award as well as Best Paper Awards at IEEE PIMRC’19 and IEEE Globecom’22.

Welcome!

Best regards,
