Dr. Mark T. MayburyChief Scientist, US Air Force

CYBER VISION 2025Cyberspace is essential to all Air Force (AF) missions. It is a domain in which, from which, and through which AF operations are performed. Cyber Vision 2025 provides the Air Force vision and blueprint for cyber Science and Technology (S&T) spanning cyberspace, air, space, command and control, intelligence, and mission support. Cyber Vision focuses on S&T in the near (FY12-15), mid (FY16-20), and far (FY21-25) term, delineat-ing where the Air Force should lead, follow, or watch. Cyber Vision 2025 finds that missions are at risk from malicious insiders, insecure supply chains, and increasingly sophisticated adversaries as well as growing (often cyber) systems interde-pendencies. Across all Air Force domains of operation, Cyber Vision 2025 recommends science and technology to improve foundations of trust, enhance human machine interactions, enhance agility and resilience, and assure and empower mis-sions, in collaboration with our partners. In this presentation, Dr. Maybury will describe Cyber Vision 2025 and will discuss the various enduring cyberspace principles that lead to S&T recommendations for Cyber Vision 2025.

AMTA Lunch & LearnThursday, October 1012:30 - 1:30 p.m.

Prof. John L. VolakisDirector, ElectroScience Laboratory, The Ohio State University

“ElectroScience Laboratory: How it all began, and a walk-through its history”

The Ohio State University ElectroScience Laboratory was es-tablished in 1941 with a vision to become a multidisciplinary institute (as stated in Sinclair’s IEEE Magazine article). This vision, although bold, was quickly fulfilled with the ElectroSci-ence becoming an exemplar center for innovative research in all aspects of Radio, Radars, Optics, Communications and Navigation. It has served as an example for many future cen-ters, but more importantly, it became a place for cutting edge research and education of about 1000 alumni who carried out their research and graduate degrees here. In this talk, we will trace the history of this establishment, its leaders starting from Bill Everitt and George Sinclair, and cover some key research highlights across its 70 year history. The presenta-tion will close by commenting on new research directions in Cognitive Sensing, Terahertz, millimeter-waves Medical Sens-ing and RF Photonics.

Dr. John Volakis is currently the Chope Chair Professor at The Ohio State University, Electrical and Computer Engineering Dept. He also serves as the Director of the ElectroScience Laboratory with approx $12M in external research funding. He was on the faculty of the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor from 1984 to 2003, and served as the Director of the Radiation Lab from 1998-2000. Over the years, he carried out research in antennas, wireless communications and propaga-tion, computational methods, electromagnetic compatibility and interference, design optimization, RF materials, multi-physics engineering, bioelectromagnetics, and medical sens-ing. His publications include 8 books (among them: Approxi-mate Boundary Conditions in Electromagnetics, 1995; Finite Element Methods for Electromagnetics, 1998; the classic 4th ed. Antenna Engineering Handbook, 2007; Small Antennas, 2010; and Integral Equation Methods for Electromagnetics, 2011), over 325 journal papers, nearly 600 conference papers and 23 book chapters. He has graduated/mentored over 70 doctoral students/post-docs with 20 of them receiving best paper awards at conferences. Among his awards are: The University of Michigan College of Engineering Research Excellence award (1993), Scott award from The Ohio State University College of Engineering for Outstanding Academic Achieve-ment (2011), IEEE Tai Teaching Ex-cellence award (2011) and the IEEE Henning Mentoring award (2013).

“Terahertz Technology for Space and Earth Applications” The terahertz (THz) is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum that falls between the millimeter wave and the far-infrared regions. As the THz region separates the more established domains of microwaves and optics, a typical THz technique will incorporate aspects of both realms, and may even draw on the best of both. The two bounding parts of the spectrum also yield distinct sets of methods of generating and detect-ing THz waves. These approaches can thus be categorized as having either microwave or optical/photonic origins. As a result of breakthroughs in technology, the THz region is finally finding applications outside its traditional heartlands of remote sensing and radio astronomy. Extensive research has identified many attractive uses and has paved the technologi-cal path towards flexible and accessible THz systems. Dr. de Maagt will discuss the range of THz applications, both from space and terrestrial, and will present some results.

Peter de Maagt received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical en-gineering from Eindhoven Univer-sity of Technology, Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in 1988 and 1992, re-spectively. In the period 1992/1993 he was station manager and scientist for an INTELSAT propaga-tion project in Surabaya, Indonesia. He is currently with the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC), European Space Agency, Noordwijk, The Nether-

lands. His research interests are in the areas of millimeter and sub-millimeter wave reflector and planar integrated antennas, quasioptics, electromagnetic bandgap antennas, and millime-ter and sub-millimeter wave components. Dr. de Maagt was co-recipient of the H.A. Wheeler Award of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society for the best applications paper of 2001. He was granted a European Space Agency Award for innovation in 2002. He was co-recipient of the LAPC 2006 and IWAT 2007 best paper award. In 2008 he received as a co-recipient the H. A. Wheeler Award for the Best Applications Paper for a second time. Dr. de Maagt is an active member of the IEEE, who has served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transaction on Antennas and Propagation. Dr. de Maagt has been also a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE APS and a member of the AP ADCOM.
