Keynote
NEW TOWNS IN FLORIDA--IS THERE SOMETHING TO LEARN FOR CHINA
Florida is the place of origin
for the development of new towns that follow the New Urbanism theory.
Seaside was the original New Urban town, with such succeeding places as
Celebration, Abacoa, Harmony, Viera, and others. These mixed use, planned
communities were originally seen as places to escape crowded cities, but
they are now viewed as improvements to auto-oriented suburban developments.
This talk describes the New Urbanism movement in Florida, and speculates on
Chinese implications. |

I
Communications Satellites
Communications satellites have a
close relationship to people's daily life around the world. A top-level
description of a typical communications satellite is presented here. The
discussion will start with some relevant historical background followed by
satellite orbit, launch vehicle, mission environment, and satellite
subsystems. Satellite technology is an integrated profession that involves
almost all disciplines in an engineering school. This profession continues
to be interesting, exciting and mind-opening. I will close my presentation
with a briefing on the current status and trends in communications
satellites. |

Nature-Inspired Aerospace Technology Advances in 21st Century
Many technological advances in the 21st century, including the ones in
aerospace field, are not different than the ones happening in the previous
centuries, in the sense that these advances are inspired by and learned from
nature. This talk highlights some technological advances in the aerospace
field derived from the behaviors of nature animals. Especially some
engineering systems that mimic birds as natural flyers will be used as
examples with focus on the dynamics and control aspects of the systems.
Current achievements as well as future challenges to advance the state of
the technological advances will be discussed. |

Display Technologies
and our daily lives
The display applications span from smartphones, tablets, virtual reality (e.g. Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Sony
PlayStation, etc.) and augmented reality (e.g. Google Glass, Microsoft
HoloLens, etc.), vehicles, computers, TVs, video walls, data projectors, and
digital movie theaters, just to name a few. Presently, quantum dots-based
liquid crystal display (LCD), light emitting diode (LED), and organic LED
take center stage for direct-view displays, while digital micro-mirrors for
projection displays. In this talk, I will briefly describe their operation
principles and competitive advantages for different display applications.

IV
Optical Fiber Communication: The stuff that the internet is made
Optical fiber communication has enjoyed six decades of exponential
growth. It is the backbone of the internet, serving as connections between
internet routers. Information technology not only drives economic growth but
also has become an indispensable part of everyday life. This talk reviews
key technologies and milestones that have enabled sustained exponential
growth in optical communication.
