PhD thesis defense by Hana Shahbazi presenting a novel methodology and software tool that use EGMS InSAR data to build nationwide Building Differential Deformation Maps, identifying vulnerable buildings and highlighting areas that require priority risk‑mitigation actions.

PhD thesis defense by Muhammad Awais Jadoon on reinforcement learning‑based random access for massive machine‑type communication, aiming to reduce collisions and delays while improving fairness and efficiency in IoT connectivity for future 6G networks.

This seminar reviews recent advances in graph learning to model complex relationships in financial data, addressing challenges such as high dimensionality, non-Gaussian behavior and time variation. It is presented by Dr. Daniel Palomar, an expert in optimization and financial data analysis.

This seminar explores neural-network-aided receivers for MIMO systems, focusing on joint channel estimation and equalization. It covers data-driven architectures, real-time implementation challenges, and connections to 6G research directions including XL-MIMO, RIS, and digital twins.

From May 19–22, 2026, CTTC in Castelldefels hosts the ETSI F5G-F2F#26 Meeting with the TFS#9 Hackfest, gathering stakeholders in next-gen fixed and transport networks. Sessions cover F5G, testing, and SDN innovation, promoting full-fibre, low-latency services, automation, AI-driven optimisation, and multi-domain network management.

Dr. Israat Haque (Dalhousie University) will give a CTTC Seminar on secure, intelligent networking using programmable technologies. The talk explores in-network computing and smart NICs for advanced security, plus data-driven 5G systems, RAN resilience, and future network design for AI, IoT, and 6G.
