Professor Song Lingyang of Peking University accompanied him during the visit. Professor Zhao Xiaohui, Dean of the College of Communication Engineering, presided over the meeting. More than 100 representatives of teachers and students from the college participated in the academic exchange activities.
Professor Nei Kato gave an academic report titled “IoT: Towards a Connected Era - Research Directions and Social Impacts”, focusing on the research direction in the future and social impact of the Internet of Things. He proposed in his report that the Internet of Things would be the cornerstone of the future information and communication ecosystem. At the meeting, he shared with us the latest research results in the field of Internet of Things, put forward key technologies for the future of the Internet of Things, answered questions raised by us patiently and in detail, and conducted in-depth exchanges and discussions with teachers and students. Rounds of applause can be heard from time to time on the scene.
Professor Song Lingyang shared his latest research result: “Caching as a Service: Wireless Caching Mechanism Design for Service Providers” with teachers and students. After the meeting, Professor Nei Kato and Professor Song Lingyang conducted in-depth exchanges on the publication of papers and how to guide and supervise graduate students. They also discussed how to publish high-level academic papers in IEEE journals.
Nei Kato is currently serving as a strategic advisor to the President of Tohoku University in Japan. He was Dean of the Institute of Electronics and Communications at Tohoku University in 2015.
