8 Nov. 2021 - Call for submission! Security and privacy are always critical issues in wireless communication systems. To tackle these issues, novel cryptography designs, physical layer transmission strategies, network protocol, and related regulations are in high demand. This Special Issue, "Security and Privacy for Modern Wireless Communication System," in Electronics MDPI, focuses on addressing the emerging security and privacy issues for modern wireless communication networks. Guest editors Dr Shihao Yan (UNSW), Prof. Guanglin Zhang (DHU), Prof. Li Sun (XJTU), Prof. Tsz Hon Yuen (HKU), Dr YoHan Park (KMU), Prof. Changhoon Lee (SeoulTech), and myself (JCU). Welcome to contribute! Deadline for manuscript submissions: 31 July 2022. Click here to submit your paper.
3 Nov. 2021 – Dr. Huang attended the 9th TESS (Centre for Tropical Environmental and Sustainability Science) Annual Science Meeting today at Palm Cove, Cairns. I will talk about the work that I carried out as a part of the Smart Catchment Project at Cairns - An IoT enabled Smart Sensing: Computer-Vision-based Discharge Monitoring in Water Channels. In addition, Dr Huang's student Raiyan Talkhani talked about his thesis work: Deep Learning-based Remote Sensing: Road Extraction in Remote Areas. This is exciting work in collaboration with Distinguished Professor Bill Laurance with great support from the TESS team. (Linkedin Post Link)
