Faculty Colloquium: Presentation by Prof. Aydin Sezgin

After a welcome address by Managing Director Dr. Corinna Heldt, Prof. Sezgin provided fascinating insights into current research topics. He explained concepts such as cooperative multiple access for extended reality and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, which are regarded as key technologies for future 6G communication systems.

Prof. Sezgin emphasized that future 6G networks will support a wide range of applications in industry and society. According to the ITU vision, these include the metaverse, digital twins, smart homes, smart cities, and autonomous driving – scenarios in which intelligent, interconnected environments will play a central role.
