Mohamed S. Korium a researcher from LUT University, Finland, recently spent time on secondment in CyRIC | Cyprus Research & Innovation Center Ltd, Cyprus. His primary collaborators included Junior Researcher Elio Faddoul and Master’s student Petros Stylianou, under the supervision of Ioannis Krikidis, Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the University of Cyprus. Together, they held weekly discussions focused on the development of a waveform dataset. #Coalesce #Secondment #Collaboration https://lnkd.in/exnRsapt

Two researchers from Karachi, Pakistan – Shama Siddiqui (Associate Professor, DHA Suffa University) and Anwar Ahmed Khan (Associate Professor, Millennium Institute of Technology and Entrepreneurship) - started their first COALESCE secondment at Walton Institute in South East Technological University, Ireland on October 28th 2024. At Walton Institute they are working working under the direct supervision of the COALESCE PI, Dr Indrakshi Dey, Head of the Programmable Autonomous Systems division. Their areas of interest include wireless networks, specifically design and optimisation of link layer protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). https://lnkd.in/exYYdGKD #Coalesce #secondment #wirelessnetworks

Daynara Dias Souza from LUT University, Finland, recently spent time on secondment in CyRIC | Cyprus Research & Innovation Center Ltd, Cyprus, collaborating with Ioannis Krikidis, Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the University of Cyprus and Dr Konstantinos Ntougias, Research Associate, on the development of a clustering method for access point selection in cell-free massive MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) networks. She also met with Dr Antonis Hadjiantonis, Manager of the Electronics and Networks Division of CyRIC, who presented their developed IoT solutions and commercial products 🙌 #Coalesce #Secondment #wirelesscommunication #engineering https://lnkd.in/epmC--MM

Cleanwatts is a proud partner of the #Coalesce project. Cleanwatts is a climate tech company working to decentralise, digitalise and democratise access to clean energy. Cleanwatts empowers citizens and local businesses to play an active role in the energy transition by building and managing Renewable Energy Communities (RECs)💡 #smartenergy #renewablenergy #sustainability

Dr Lurian Klein PhD, Innovation Developer at Cleanwatts Digital, recently spent one month on secondment at LUT University, Finland as part of the #Coalesce project. During his visit Dr Lurian was primarily stationed at the Cyberphysical Systems Group lab, where he worked closely with Dr Pedro Nardelli and Dr Arun Narayanan and their team, co-leaders of the COALESCE project at LUT. His work also involved liaising with other key departments. He collaborated with researchers from the Lab of Electricity Market and Power Systems (EMPS) – namely with Dr Samuli Honkapuro, Dr Salla Annala, and Dr Behnam Ivatloo, discussing optimisation in Renewable Energy Community (REC) management and smart grid operation strategies. In addition, engaging with the Energy & Society lab under Eeva-Lotta Apajalahti and the Social Sciences Department under Salvatore Ruggiero provided a deeper understanding of the social dimensions of energy systems and offered valuable insights into how social-technical theories apply to the energy transition. This connection supports joint strategies on assessing the social impact of REC initiatives, crucial for COALESCE’s objectives. #smartenergy #renewableenergy #secondment https://lnkd.in/eaQgsGhJ

📜 PUBLICATION: 'Image-based intrusion detection system for GPS spoofing cyberattacks in unmanned aerial vehicles' This new paper partially funded by the #COALESCE project by authors Mohamed S. Korium (LUT University) Mohamed Saber (Cairo University), Ahmed Mahmoud Ahmed (Zagazig University) Arun Narayanan (LUT University) and Pedro H.J. Nardelli (LUT University) was published recently in Ad Hoc Networks. The operations of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are susceptible to cybersecurity risks, mainly because of their firm reliance on the Global Positioning System (GPS) and radio frequency (RF) sensors. This paper proposes an image-based intrusion detection system for detecting GPS spoofing cyberattacks based on a deep learning methodology. #UAV #deeplearning #cyberattacks https://lnkd.in/eHNxsgYT

Dr Nicola Marchetti, Professor in Wireless Communications at Trinity College Dublin (TCD), recently spent one month on secondment in Volue, Espoo, Finland as part of the #COALESCE project. The aim of Dr Nicola’s secondment was to establish a common understanding on what the industry focus and views are in terms of joint communication-energy systems operation, with respect to linking energy systems and markets 🌍 During his time in Finland Dr Nicola discussed collaboration opportunities between TCD and Volue with Development Manager Dr Amir Safdarian elaborating on the technical areas that future secondments of TCD PhD students to Volue could focus on. This included promising topics such as energy efficient techniques in 6G, and an AI-based communication system for smart grid networks. Dr Nicola also visited LUT University in Lappeenranta and worked with Professor of IoT in Energy Systems Pedro Nardelli’s team, mainly on refining the description, data and models, key performance indicators, and requirements for the four COALESCE targeted use cases 🙌 #smartgrid #smartenergy #6G #AI #IoT https://lnkd.in/etCdrpTk

LUT University is a proud partner of the #Coalesce project. COALESCE aims to develop a cross-optimisation platform that enables integrated operation and interplay between the energy grids and the data and telecommunication networks 💡 To learn more about the project visit https://lnkd.in/eBB2jmy6 #SmartGrid #SmartEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Telecommunications #StaffExchange

Dr Indrakshi Dey, Head of the Programmable Autonomous Systems Division at Walton Institute in South East Technological University was delighted to represent the #Coalesce project in an innovative workshop at the Sustainable Places conference in Luxembourg recently. Dr Indrakshi explained: “As we explore the transformative power of 6G, we must also consider the environmental impact and sustainability of future networks. This event, led by 6G-TWIN, was the perfect platform to discuss how we can effectively balance technological advancement and ecological responsibility.” https://lnkd.in/eXnzk7dr #6G #sustainability #SP2024
