Javier Talavante, a PhD student at IMDEA Networks, has won second place in the II Edition of the Young Entrepreneurship Awards of the Community of Madrid in the innovative modality with the spin-off Sensory-FI, developing the greenhouse monitoring system LiFi4Food.

Our Research Associate Professor Narseo Vallina-Rodríguez received the Distinguished Reviewer Award at USENIX Security’23 in recognition of the quality of his reviews.

Our Research Assistant Professor Guillermo Suárez-Tangil received the Excellence in Reviewing Award at KDD’2023 in recognition of the quality of his reviews.

IMDEA Networks faculty Marco Fiore, and Sergey Gorinsky are among a select few of the TPC members whom the TPC chairs awarded as Distinguished Members of the committee. The TPC chairs recognized the Distinguished Members based upon ratings by peer TPC members, fairness in review scores, and promptness in meeting various deadlines during the review process.

An IMDEA Networks research team has won first prize in the food category of the competitive European EIT Jumpstarter program for its business idea LiFi4Food, which seeks to provide solutions for digital and precision agriculture. The prize valued at €10,000 is earmarked for the creation of this revolutionary startup. LiFi4Food offers an integrated, innovative, and sustainable communication system formed by self-sustainable and battery-free IoT (Internet of Things) devices to monitor and control environmental parameters in high-tech agri-food facilities such as vertical farms and greenhouses. It takes advantage of the LED lamps already installed in such sites to deploy a LiFi network that supplies the battery-free sensors (equipped with solar cells) with both power and data.

This award is a recognition given to the most committed reviewers among the 2022 TPC for the quality and timelines of the reviews delivered by the researcher and the engagement in the discussions before, during and after the PC meeting.

The ML5G-PHY channel estimation challenge attacks one of the most difficult problems in the 5G physical layer: acquiring channel information to establish a millimeter-wave MIMO link (initial access) considering a hybrid MIMO architecture. Approaches in the challenge will lead to important insights into what can be achieved using data-driven and/or model-based approaches.

The IMDEA Networks team participated in the challenge ​ITU-ML5G-PS-025:​ ML5G-PHY- Channel Estimation with the name “ML-DOJO”. They ranked 1st in the competition.
