Invited Talk 1: Terahertz Beam Engineering: A New Quality Productive Force
Session Chair: TBA
Time: Thursday, October 23 - 14:30-15:00 (UTC+8:00)
	Chong Han John Wu & Jane Sun Endowed Associate Professor Terahertz Wireless Communications (TWC) Laboratory University of Michigan-Shanghai Jiao Tong University (UM-SJTU) Joint Institute Shanghai Jiao Tong University Webpage: link Shanghai 200240, China

Terahertz (THz) communications is envisioned as a highly promising wireless technology for the sixth generation (6G) and beyond wireless networks. In particular, the ultra-wide THz band ranging from 0.1 to 10 THz offers enormous potential to alleviate the spectrum scarcity and break the capacity limitation of emerging wireless systems. This will undoubtedly support the epoch-making wireless applications that demand ultra-high quality of service requirements and multi-terabits per second data transmission in the 6G and beyond era, such as metaverse and extended reality, terabit-per-second backhaul systems, and wireless high-bandwidth satellite communications. This talk will touch a frontier of Terahertz beam engineering, including Bessel, Airy, OAM, etc. As a new quality productive force, this cross near and far field communication regime is believed to reap the full benefits of THz communications in the 6G and beyond era.

Invited Talk 2: Artificial molecular communication network based on DNA nanostructures recognition
Session Chair: TBA
Time: Friday, October 24 - 09:00-10:00 (UTC+8:00)
	Jie Chao Professor State Key Laboratory of Flexible Electronics (LoFE) & Institute of Advanced Materials (IAM) Nanjing University of Posts & Telecommunications Nanjing, China

Artificial simulated communication networks inspired by molecular communication in organisms use biological and chemical molecules as information carriers to realize information transmission. However, the design of programmable, multiplexed and general simulation models remains challenging. Here, we develop a DNA nanostructure recognition-based artificial molecular communication network (DR-AMCN), in which rectangular DNA origami nanostructures serve as nodes and their recognition as edges. After the implementation of DR-AMCN with various communication mechanisms including serial, parallel, orthogonal, and multiplexing, it is applied to construct various communication network topologies with bus, star, and tree structures. By the establishment of a node partition algorithm for path traversal based on DR-AMCN, the computational complexity of the seven-node Hamiltonian path problem is reduced and solved directly by a rate-zonal centrifugation method. The developed DR-AMCN enhances our understanding of signal transduction mechanisms, dynamic processes, and regulatory networks in organisms, contributing to the solution of informatics and computational problems, as well as having immense potential in computer science, biomedical engineering, information technology and other related fields.
