Our Communications Engineering article on curving beams was chosen as an Editors’ Choice for 2024, and a highly cited article. Congratulation to Hichem and all the -coauthors.

After more than a year of work, our new edited book on THz wireless communications has now been published.  Very exciting to see this come to fruition. Many thanks to my co-authors Thomas Kürner and Tadao Nagatsuma.

Our recent article on efficient and directional beams from terahertz leaky-wave antennas was featured on the cover of Applied Physics Letters, in the final issue of 2020. Great job to Hichem for leading this effort, and for creating the nice cover art!

Brown University has joined the MillimeterWave Coalition. This membership, initiated by Professor Mittleman and his group at Brown, enables the University to join other universities and companies in the effort to develop a favorable regulatory environment for systems employing terahertz radiation. According to the web page of the Coalition, “The mmWave Coalition is a group of innovative companies united in the objective of removing regulatory barriers to technologies and using frequencies ranging from 95 GHz to 450 GHz. The Coalition does not limit itself to supporting any particular use or technology but rather it is working to create a regulatory structure for these frequencies that would encompass all technologies and all possible uses, limited only by the constraints of physics, innovation, and the imagination.”

The membership list of the Coalition can be found here.

THz image of ancient pottery sherdOur recent work in collaboration with Martin Koch (Physics Dept., University of Marburg) and Peter van Dommelen (Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World, Brown University) is now published. We can combine visible and THz imaging to extract quantitative metrics for density variations in ancient ceramic sherds! The publication can be found by clicking here.

Our collaboration with the Knightly group (Rice University) has produced some nice results recently. Here’s a teaser for one of them, for a paper that will be presented at WiSec 2020 in July. Nice job, Chia-Yi!

In collaboration with Yasaman Ghasempour and Edward Knightly from Rice University, we have demonstrated a new way for access points to locate clients in a mobile network.  New results published here, and described here and here and here. Nice job, everybody!

Our new article on Tbps links in a waveguide is now published in Applied Physics Letters. Great job, Rabi! Press articles on the result can be found here and here.

The Cognitive Networks Technical Committee of the IEEE Communications Society has recently published a nice article on the state of the art in terahertz wireless communications, which includes interviews with Dr. Mittleman and two other technical experts in the field.  Check it out here.

Our new paper shows that terahertz wireless data links aren’t as immune to eavesdropping as many researchers have assumed. The research, published in the journal Nature, shows that it is possible for a clever eavesdropper to intercept a signal from a terahertz transmitter without the intrusion being detected at the receiver. This work is a collaboration between our group and researchers at Rice University and at the University at Buffalo. Press coverage can be found here and here and here. Congratulations to all the co-authors for a very nice bit of research.
