  • Një super mbrëmje në ICK me Dr. Shkëlzen Cakaj, dhe ligjeratën e tij rreth Satelitëve të Orbitave të Ulëta, dhe rasti i "Starlink" nga Elon Musk. Dr. Shkelzen Cakaj është Profesor i Asociuar në Fakultetin e Teknologjisë së Informacionit, Universiteti Politeknik i Tiranës, ku ligjëron “Sistemet satelitore” që nga viti 2010. Dr. Cakaj është pionier i telekomunikacionit në Kosovë, i angazhuar për 42 vjet në industri dhe 20 vjet në akademi. Në vitin 2003 angazhohet si i ftuar shkencor në Universitetin Teknik në Vjenë ku ka përgatitur temën e magjistraturës. Cakaj mori doktoraturën në komunikimet satelitore nga Universiteti i Zagrebit në janar 2008. Në vitin 2009, si studiues i Fulbright-it, ai vazhdoi studimet e tij postdoktorale në NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) në Maryland, SHBA. Ai është autor i 80 punimeve. Fusha e tij e interesit është performanca e stacionit tokësor satelitor. Dr. Cakaj, së fundmi ka botuar librin “Dizajnimi dhe analiza e stacionit tokësor për satelitët LEO”, Willey, 2022.

Dr. Cakaj i ka te publikuara 80 punime shkencore, me mbi 5,000 lexime ne muaj. NASA e ka cituar z. Cakaj ne reportin e vitit 2016, dhe metoden e tij shkencore e ka quajtur "the Cakaj Method". 40 vite pervoje ne Telekomin e Kosoves. I larguar nga puna ne vitet 80, Dr. Cakaj u rikthye ne vitet 2000, per ta ringjallur komplet infrastrukturen e shkaterruar te telekomunikimit ne Kosove. Nuk po di cka me shkru ma shume.

    Upcoming event at ICK: Nanobiosensors, Pioneering Diagnostics for a Healthier World, with Dr. Arben Merkoçi. This talk will show the transformative role of nanobiosensors in modern diagnostics, focusing on their application as point-of-care devices in health and environmental monitoring. By leveraging cutting-edge nanotechnology and advanced nanomaterials, these devices enable rapid, accurate, and accessible diagnostics, addressing critical global challenges. Key examples of innovative nanobiosensors developed in Barcelona will illustrate their potential to revolutionize healthcare and sustainability. The talk will also discuss recent efforts to establish a regional hub for nanotechnology, NANOALB-NANOBALKAN, inspired by the model of Barcelona's ICN2. Supported by the Academy of Sciences of Albania, this initiative aims to foster innovation and collaboration in the Balkans, positioning the region at the forefront of nanotechnology research and development.
