On Friday, May 23, 2025, the Department of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia (DTE FTUI) held the 71st session of the Friday Morning Forum (FMF), presenting a Distinguished Lecturedelivered by Prof. Swades De, Ph.D., Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi. The event took place at Auditorium MRPQ, 4th Floor, DTE FTUI, and ran from 09:00 to 10:30 WIB. The session was moderated by Prof. Dr. Ir. Fitri Yuli Zulkifli, ST., M.Sc., IPU., a professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Universitas Indonesia.
The lecture, titled “On Distributed Beamforming Aided Enhancing Efficiency of Radiative Energy and Information Transfer,” focused on the latest research and advancements in wireless energy and information systems. Prof. Swades De elaborated on how distributed beamforming by synchronizing multiple transmitters can significantly improve the efficiency of energy radiation and information transmission, especially in the context of energy-constrained wireless networks and communication environments. His presentation combined theoretical analysis, recent simulation results, and potential application areas ranging from sensor networks to future wireless power transfer systems.
This event was part of FMF’s commitment to fostering international academic exchange and enriching the scientific discourse within FTUI. The lecture was mandatory for PhD students of DTE FTUI, but also open to undergraduate and master’s students, researchers, and the general public, encouraging broad participation across disciplines and institutions. The audience showed high enthusiasm during the interactive Q&A session, where discussions extended to topics such as channel synchronization, scalability of beamforming methods, and energy-harvesting trade-offs in real-world deployment.
The session concluded with appreciation to the speaker and moderator, and served as a reminder of the importance of research collaboration in advancing the frontiers of engineering. FMF Series-71 once again affirmed DTE FTUI’s role as a leading academic environment that bridges local learning with global research excellence.
