The United States Air Force's ability to identify both map topography and pinpoint threats therein just got a significant boost thanks to a collaboration between AFRL and the The University of Texas at Arlington! This was made possible by a grant issued by the AFRL Minority Leaders Research Collaboration Program, or ML-RCP, merging both teams to develop a more cost-effective semiconductor thin film for use in infrared light detection.

An Overview On My Past 50 Year R&D Activities: After fifty years of hard work, it is the time to set back and look to what I have done. While, most of the achieved research and developments have been recorded in large numbers of journals publications, book chapters, and conferences proceedings, more than 35 granted US patents and patents pending are disclosing novel technologies in various fields. Over fifty R&D projects have been successfully completed. More than half of them were for the US Defense (Navy, Army, and Air forces), as well as NASA Lewis Research Center and NASA Langley Research Center, including joint patents with the US Army and NASA Langley Research Center. Most of the research projects were performed/conducted at the Drexel Fiber Optics and Photonics Manufacturing Engineering Center (FOPMEC). The center was considered as Center of Excellence to the State of Pennsylvania. I was the Cener Founder, and the Director of the center for his 20 years life time. The rest of the R&D projects were conducted at our two companies; Photonics, Inc and Photonics Laboratories, Inc, check (www.photonicslabs.com) Many of the R&D projects were unique as directed to the development of novel technologies in different science and engineering fields, including the new field of Smart Materials and Smart Structures. The attached document presents a summary of samples of what have been done and successfully completed. I will be happy to discuss the transfer of any of the developed technologies for commercialization, and to academic institutions for continuation of R&D to more development and application. ** Some of the granted or pending patents can be found on the internet, as; "JUSTIA, Patents by Inventor Mahmoud El-Sherif"

U of T Engineering-led research group including Amr S. Helmy to develop quantum sensors as an alternative to GPS. According to an article at UofT Engineering, the research team — which also includes professors from the University of Alberta, Carleton University, McMaster University, and the University of Waterloo — was awarded funding for four years from Canada’s Department of National Defence (DND) to focus on developing quantum sensors that can more accurately determine geolocation compared to current sensors. Their work could improve situational awareness for times when the Global Positioning System (GPS) is unavailable, spotty or not to be trusted. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gyFDFjhC

Hello LinkedIn folks 👋 I am thrilled to share the publication of my research paper, "Efficient Content Exploration on YouTube: Automatic Speech Recognition-Based Video Summarization," in the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Electronics, Communication, and Aerospace Technology (ICECA 2023) and IEEE Xplore. This paper dives deep into the world of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technology, showcasing its potential to revolutionize video summarization on YouTube. The goal? To make content exploration on the platform more efficient and user-friendly. Our research explores innovative approaches to extract key information from videos through ASR, promising a more concise and effective video summarization process. Huge thanks to Dr. KULDEEP VAYADANDE sir for guidance and my amazing teammates Mokshad Nemade, Shripad Parbhanikar, Anurag Raut, and Rushikesh Thorat for their invaluable contributions. Curious to learn more? Dive into the details of our research paper here: https://lnkd.in/g_y3Ti9y #ResearchPaper #ICECA2023 #SpeechRecognition #VideoSummarization

The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has funded a project with a $1 million grant to develop a "quantum photonic-dimer laser" that uses quantum entanglement to enhance laser performance. Unlike conventional lasers that rely on the coherent light produced by electron oscillations in atoms, this new technology binds photons together using quantum entanglement. This binding results in a highly concentrated beam capable of maintaining its strength and precision over long distances and through adverse conditions like thick fog. Jung-Tsung Shen, an associate professor at Washington University in St. Louis, leads the project. He explains that entangled photons can protect each other from atmospheric damage, preserving phase information. The photonic dimer laser bonds pairs of photons, making them easier to manipulate and more stable, which could significantly improve military applications such as surveillance and secure communications. The enhanced energy and stability of the laser make it suitable for harsh environments and extended operational ranges. In addition to military uses, the technology shows promise in fields like quantum computing and telecommunications, potentially leading to faster and more secure data transmission. Previous research by Shen's team demonstrated the laser's potential in deep brain imaging by mapping neural structures using photonic dimers. Shen believes this innovative use of entanglement is only the beginning of its possible applications. The project underscores the transformative potential of quantum mechanics in practical technologies (Science.com)

High Power Laser Cladding Applications | Your partner for innovative Cladding solutions | Write your success story with us!
🛫 Prof. Dr. Constantin Haefner kicked off the AKL – International Laser Technology Congress ... with an overview of the collaboration between research and industry, focusing on key areas of the ILT (Institute of Laser Technology) such as Cyber Photonics, Quantum Technology, Secondary Sources, Laser Fusion, and Sustainability. During his presentation, Prof. Dr. Constantin Haefner highlighted the integration of AI into engineering processes, expanding the traditional engineering triangle of Cost, Quality, Timeto include Sustainability. He emphasized that while smart products are valuable, the digital connections they enable pose significant management challenges for industries. The digital transformation presents a challenge for the entire industry, with the value shifting towards digital connections rather than solely smart products. Professor Haefner mentioned significant investments, such as the 1.6 billion euros from the BMBF (Federal Ministry of Education and Research) for advancing research in Germany, with a strong emphasis on sustainability. The conference concluded with a discussion on the future of laser technology, particularly focusing on cyber photonics. The question posed was, "Are you ready for cyber photonics?" Finally, there was an official acknowledgment and gratitude expressed to Professor Loosen, a core figure at ILT who recently retired. Professor Haefner thanked him for his dedication and contributions to ILT. Thank you very much from my side as well.
