Director of the Xiangshan 5G/6G Laboratory at the Zhongshan Institute of Changchun University of Science and Technology (ZICUST) in China.
Abstract: This workshop on Machine Learning-Assisted Design and Optimization of Antennas for Space Systems introduces emerging ML-driven approaches for next-generation antenna engineering. It begins with an overview of key machine learning algorithms and their relevance to electromagnetic design problems. Participants will explore representative antenna configurations and specimen designs tailored for space applications. The session further covers optimization techniques, including evolutionary and ML-based strategies, for enhancing antenna performance. Sample design problems will be discussed to demonstrate practical implementation and challenges. A short hands-on session will provide exposure to basic ML-assisted design workflows. The workshop aims to equip participants with both conceptual understanding and practical insights for applying ML in antenna design.
