Microwave breast imaging is a promising frontier in breast cancer detection. This presentation summarizes over a decade of diverse studies, from early beginnings to a prototype portable device for underserved communities. We've developed a Health-Canada-approved device using 24 small vector network analyzers. Ongoing efforts focus on a low-cost multistatic device. Disparities in breast cancer detection for marginalized populations highlight the need for the system's low-cost, portable, and user-friendly solutions. A critical review emphasizes the need to improve specificity for BMI. High-contrast image reconstruction methods sometimes overshadow accuracy, a key area for investigation. The presentation focuses on radar-based reconstruction algorithms, addressing various challenges. It introduces a differential dual-breast diagnostic strategy for more accurate estimates. In conclusion, a decade of research underscores ongoing learning and integration for advancements, crucial for impacting early breast cancer detection in remote locations and low-middle income countries.

The TT&C is a critical function that ensures the spacecraft system operates properly, by sending Telecommand, receiving Telemetry, and doing tracking for the orbit determination. Although the TT&C engineering for LEO satellites is well consolidated, when it comes to the design of TT&C subsystems for low-latency and large networks there are several open research directions. This seminar will provide an overview of the main challenges that are faced when designing the TT&C for such kind of networks, taking as main reference Mega-constellations and IoT for the Earth Observation. The level of technical details will be provided in a style to help attendance to get familiar with the topic, thus making the seminar accessible also to engineers outside the specialty of TT&C.
