Title: Near-field Communications and Sensing Technology
Abstract: Far-field channel model has been considered for decades in wireless communications. However, as ultra-massive MIMO is promising for future wireless communications with high frequency such as millimeter wave and TeraHz, near-field channel model becomes important. In this talk, near-field channel model and latest research results in UM-MIMO will be presented.

Tittle: Reliability of Smart Contracts
Abstract: The rapid development of blockchain technology has brought forth new challenges in the field of software reliability engineering. As of September 2024, over 60 million smart contracts have been created on the Ethereum blockchain. However, the increasing complexity of these smart contracts has led to the emergence of vulnerabilities and significant losses. This report aims to explore the reliability of blockchain-based smart contracts, focusing on research in the areas of static analysis, formal methods, fuzzing, and so on.
