Imagine a future of limitless connections. Tiny devices implanted in your body relay health information to your smartphone. Young students operate high-definition microscopes at a university hundreds of miles away. Networks of underwater sensors provide real-time ocean data to scientists on shore. “We’re moving into a world in which everyday objects, and all the fabric of our daily lives, have intelligence,” says Tommaso Melodia. “This intelligence enables interactions between the cyber world and the physical world.” Melodia is the founding director of Northeastern's new Institute for the Wireless Internet of Things, which will bring together a wide variety of expertise to build the next generation of wireless technologies for a faster, more connected world. He will discuss work that is on the cutting edge of making wireless communication faster, designing smaller, more effective sensors for interacting with the physical environment, developing artificial intelligence and machine learning programs to make sense of the data, and creating the protections to make sure that information stays secure.
