Amideast Lebanon Advisory Board Meeting
Presented Orbiton’s objectives on refining remote sensing techniques through adaptive noise filtering algorithms to mitigate radio frequency interference (RFI). Emphasized the project’s role in advancing Lebanon's infrastructure for real-time cosmic signal acquisition, vital for applications in high-resolution astronomical observations and environmental monitoring. Attended by notable figures such as Mr. Robert Tarazi, Chair of the Amideast Lebanon Advisory Board and Founder & CEO of Beton W.L.L., Qatar; Mr. Habib Debs, President and CEO of Advanced Technology Systems Co., United States; Dr. Georges Makhoul, CEO of Constellation Holdings, United Arab Emirates; Mr. Harry Nadjarian, Chairman and CEO of Industrial Motor Power Corporation, United States; and Former Ambassador of the United States to Oman, Ms. Greta C. Holtz.
2023
American University of Beirut's (AUB) Undergraduate Research Physics Conference
Demonstrated Orbiton’s achievements in precision spectral analysis using the PSRT receiving system. This conference featured rigorous discussions on the implementation of pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) for detecting gravitational waves, where Orbiton presented novel approaches to noise-pattern analysis using adaptive filtering techniques to distinguish cosmic signals from terrestrial noise. Among the attendees were Professor Michel Kazan, Chair of the Physics Department; Professor Mohammad Haidar, Head of AUB's Magnetic Resonance Lab; Dr. Cynthia Saad, Senior Lecturer in Astrophysics; Dr. Ola Hosseiky Malaeb, Senior Lecturer in Plasma Physics; and Dr. Amara Al Sayegh, Senior Lecturer in System Optimization.
