Instituto de Telecomunicações (IT) will host the seminar "A Hierarchical Framework for Anomaly Detection and Attack Classification on the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT)" on July 13, 02:30 to 04:00, at the Faculty of Engineering, DEM - Instituto de Telecomunicações, Universidade da Beira Interior (room 08.01). The invited speaker is Yeritza Gómez, a Master's student at the National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics (INAOE), Mexico.
The seminar will explore innovative approaches to strengthening cybersecurity in the rapidly evolving Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), highlighting a hierarchical framework that combines edge-based anomaly detection with cloud-based attack classification to enhance the protection of healthcare systems.
Abstract:
The widespread adoption of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has transformed healthcare by enabling real-time data exchange and seamless connectivity between medical devices. However, this increased interconnectivity has also expanded the attack surface, making healthcare infrastructures more vulnerable to cyber threats.
Traditional intrusion detection systems (IDS) are generally centralized and computationally demanding, limiting their applicability in resource-constrained IoMT environments. This presentation introduces a hierarchical and modular detection framework that distributes anomaly detection to edge devices while delegating attack classification to cloud-based machine learning models. By leveraging edge interactions, the proposed architecture enables early threat detection without compromising network performance, offering an efficient and scalable cybersecurity solution for IoMT ecosystems.

Instituto de Telecomunicações will host the seminar "Metamaterial-Based Static and Dynamic Synthetic Moving Media" on 10 July, presented by Dr. Toshiyuki Kodama, Assistant Professor at Tohoku University, Japan.
Dr. Kodama received his Ph.D. from the Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST) in 2017. He worked as an Optics Engineer at NALUX Co., Ltd. from 2017 to 2022 before joining Tohoku University as an Assistant Professor, where he has been conducting research since 2022.
Abstract:
Synthetic moving media offer new possibilities for manipulating electromagnetic waves without requiring physically moving materials. Dynamic synthetic moving media can be realized through the temporal modulation of the permeability of magnetic materials, while static synthetic moving media can be achieved using bianisotropic metamaterials that simultaneously break time-reversal and spatial-inversion symmetries.
In this seminar, Dr. Kodama will present his research group's latest experimental demonstrations of these two approaches and discuss their potential applications in the control and manipulation of electromagnetic waves.
Free attendance.
