Microwaves and mm-waves for the Design of Advanced Wireless Links: Communication, Sensing and Power Transfer
This Summer School offers 6 ECTS credits through the delivering of 52-hour lectures. Attendees will get an introduction to EM fundamentals and then they will learn how to apply those to the design and implementation of future communication systems, radars, wireless sensing systems, wireless networks and high-frequency circuits.
Indeed, the Summer School lectures are subdivided into two parts.
The first part is devoted to a concise and basic description of the most important EM phenomena: wave propagation in free space, inhomogeneous media and guiding structures; properties and characteristic parameters of passive devices, transceivers and antennas. Experimental measurements and introduction to commercial EM solvers are also planned.
The second part of the lecturers is devoted to highlight how the EM phenomena and devices previously reviewed are applied in some of the most advanced wireless systems.
Lecturers, from both academia and ICT industry, will focus on the design criteria, technical features, architectures and innovative aspects directly induced by EM concepts in non-terrestrial networks, 5G mobile communications, wireless power transfer systems, V2X communications, global LEO constellation networks, microwave systems for aerospace and defense. To fully pursue the School goals and provide the most effective outcome, lecturers are selected among academia (University of Pisa and University of Bologna), ICT industry and international research centers.
On one day of the Summer School week, the lectures will be given at the Marconi’s Museum in Villa Griffone, Pontecchio Marconi (close to Bologna). In the morning, the attendees will have a guided tour of the museum and see some experiments emulating those made by the pioneer of the radio communications (Nobel Prize for Physics, in 1909) in his family country estate in the late XIX century. In the afternoon, two lecturers on WPT (wireless power transfer) systems and RIS (Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces) for 6G mobile communications will be given by recognized experts from the University of Bologna. The bus transfer for the round trip to Pontecchio Marconi will be provided by the School organizers.
Students interested to earn the 6 ECTS credits are required to agree with the Summer School coordinators on a Project Work topic, and then submit their written report no later than 30 August 2024 (pdf submission by email to Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo. and Questo indirizzo email è protetto dagli spambots. È necessario abilitare JavaScript per vederlo.).

Aim
The inaugural edition of this Summer School aims to introduce the attendees to the building blocks required to understand the basic principles, the implementation strategies and the design criteria of the most common wireless systems operating in the microwaves and mm-waves frequency bands. An overview of the fundamental electromagnetic (EM) phenomena will be provided and exploited, to describe the most important high-frequency devices of the wireless system physical layer.
The Summer School will support the gain of skills useful to control the EM propagation, thus helping the attendees to face the challenging and ever-evolving specifications of advanced wireless systems.
The Summer School can be of interest for students (PhD students, postgraduate students, and undergraduate students who are close to getting their degree), practitioners and industry employees, who are involved in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) fields and aim to exploit the EM phenomena to shape future communication systems, radars, wireless sensing systems, wireless networks and high-frequency circuits.
Lecture contents do not require a background in electromagnetics, yet experimental measurements and commercial simulation tools will be used to validate EM basic concepts, as an effective alternative to conventional approaches based only on analytical derivations.
Who can apply
PhD students, postgraduate students, undergraduate students who are close to getting their degree, practitioners and industry employees, who are involved in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) fields and, more generally, in STEM disciplines.

Neural Networks for Archaeologists, with Python
Archaeology deals with the study of the human past, conducted through material remains, i.e. artefacts that were manufactured, used, and discarded in ancient times. One of the most important task is to classify the artefacts, determining chronology, cultural attribution, form, function and other features. Neural networks and deep learning are powerful tools for supporting and facilitating such tasks, often time consuming and heavily depending on prior knowledge and expertise. This Summer School illustrates the use of neural networks for analyzing and classifying multimodal data, such as images, tables, texts. It is conducted, with an hands-on approach, through Python, one of the main programming languages of AI and Data Science, including a wide variety of deep learning tools and network architectures. In order to effectively conduct and support analysis and classification of data coming from tables, images and texts, modern archaeologists should be able to deal with concepts and tools related to new technologies. Such skills are not present in a standard archaeology background, though they are fundamental even to effectively interact with ICT experts.
The Summer School will last 60 hours and will take place from June 17th to June 28th, 2024, at the Department of Civilisations and Forms of Knowledge of the University of Pisa, Italy.
Bibliography: Stevens E., Antoga L., Viehmann T., Deep Learning with Pytorch, Manning (2020).
The program will be activated also in distance learning mode (TEAMS platform).
Aim
The Summer School will enable participants to explore and visualize data with Python, set up and train neural networks from scratch and/or by modifying pre-trained networks (transfer learning), in order to perform classification tasks based on images and/or texts. It is built around a new paradigm, which takes into consideration archaeologists as both producers and users of digital archaeological data.

Accelerated Geophysics Solutions via Devito
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Please do not pay the tuition fees before receiving the admission letter
Devito is a domain specific language (DSL) and compiler for solving PDE boundary value problems via the finite difference method. The high level SymPy style API allows users to form models and their discretized solutions in a similar manner to how they would on ‘pen and paper’. Devito then processes this high level specification to generate highly optimized c-code for the target architecture. With a command of the DSL, users are able to efficiently solve a range PDE boundary value problems, particularly those pertinent to Geophysical imaging problems, a target application of the framework.
The Summer School will showcase the high-productivity and high performance aspects of Devito in the realm of seismic imaging. For new users, a walk-through the process of building and solving a range of models will be provided. The basic API and the various options available will be exemplified in the context of solving the wave equation. Users with more experience will have the opportunity to branch out and explore more intricate models through a series of guided exercises according to their interests, be that exploring features such as sub-domains to implement more advanced boundary conditions, or utilizing distributed memory parallelism to solve larger problems. Once newer users are comfortable with the foundations of the DSL, they will then join in exploring these additional features.
Aim
The Summer School is intended to bring Geophysicists with little or no prior experience with Devito to a level where they feel comfortable solving relevant problems using it.
Upon completion of the Summer School users will
- Be able to express PDE boundary value problems and their solutions in the DSL
- Understand how high-level API options affect the underlying c-code produced
- Be experienced with running relevant models, such as wave-equation based simulations, and handling their output
- Have delved into some more advanced features of Devito (e.g. Vector and Tensor functions, Subdomains, MPI support, compiler optimisations, etc.) depending on their interests

- use of reference databases on land cover, soil traits, and meteorological and climate data;
- data visualization, spatial references and projections, proximal and remote sensed data, terrain analysis;
- methods for covariate identification, acquisition, and selection, harmonization, and inclusion in modelling procedures;
- linear mixed models for statistical analysis of soil and biological data, methods to include spatialization and soil depth as variables, methods to study unbalanced data or including variables with missing data, regression models;
- overview on models and some case studies: classification and regression trees models (random forest, boosted regression trees, others), artificial neural networks, and convolutional neural networks, etc..
The school will include theoretical lessons in the morning and practical lessons in the afternoon.
Participants to SAFEST will be able to deal with geodata and their handling and analysis in a wealth of areas, including agriculture, forest, other land uses, the study of soil biodiversity, soil science, farming systems, and other environmental areas.
The Summer School received the support of SHARInG-MeD project (a PRIMA 2022 action topic 1.2.1 under the grant agreement 2211).
Aim
Aim of the school is stimulating the integration among different data handling strategies and modelling procedures of geodata, with special emphasis to plant biomass and soil traits, and to support the modelling activities in various fields of expertise, including agriculture and forest management, soil management, soil biodiversity, and their potential relationship with economic, environmental indicator or social data.
