Dr. Mircea Gradu, Sr. Vice President Quality and Validation at Velodyne Lidar, Inc. , will be featured on two panels at the upcoming GITEX Technology Week in Dubai on October 7 and 8. Gradu, a distinguished engineer, is an officer and the 2018 President of SAE International . He will review how lidar sensors deliver outstanding perception performance in three dimensions, allowing vehicles to detect and avoid objects in a range of environmental conditions and roadway settings. Furthermore, he will discuss the critical success factors in testing and validation that lidar sensors must achieve to support autonomous vehicles (AV) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

The first panel, “Teaching Vehicles to Think, Drive and Talk ,” occurs on October 7, from 2:40 to 3:10 p.m., at the Vertical Stage 1, Za’abeel Hall 4. Gradu will provide information about how advanced sensor technologies generate massive amounts of data. The future AV will generate two petabits – about the same as two million gigabits of data.
The second panel, “Driverless Vehicles will be Safe, Ready and Common on the Road by 2030 ,” occurs on October 8, from 3:30 to 4:15 p.m. at the Future Mobility Conference, Sheikh Maktoum Hall. Gradu will discuss how lidar sensors are an essential component for fully autonomous vehicles and can significantly enhance ADAS capabilities.
Velodyne has more than a decade of experience in the manufacturing and validation of lidar sensors that support the stringent safety and reliability requirements of automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. By developing a portfolio of smart, powerful sensors, Velodyne Lidar has established itself as a leading developer, manufacturer and supplier of real-time lidar sensors.
“GITEX is a great opportunity to bring together some of the hundreds of companies and thousands of people working on AV and ADAS technologies,” said Gradu. “Velodyne is committed to fostering this industry’s efforts and learning experiences to help make our roadways safer – sooner, rather than later.”

Pioneering feat in regenerative medicine, the BEES-HAUS cell therapy: Paracrine effect and cell engraftment, together healing urethral stricture. Its simplified version, BHES-HAUS’ results to be presented in AUA 20267.5.2026 07:13:00 CEST | Press release
A path breaking scientific discovery, unraveling successful wound healing mechanism in urethral stricture with BEES-HAUS cell therapy has been reported by Indo-Japan physician-scientists. This milestone achievement in regenerative medicine, yielding clinical safety and efficacy, is the first of its kind, wherein a hybrid approach of mixing two groups of autologous buccal epithelial cells,one cultured in 2D and another in 3D in Festigel scaffold were used in the management of urethral stricture; paracrine effect of IGF-1 produced by 2D-cultured cells and engraftment of 3D-Festigel cultured cells, which cover the urethrotomy wound, together repairing the urothelial defect, has been published in Frontiers in Urology. This feat though modest, is a global first in terms of both in vitro tissue engineering and clinical benefits by in vivo healing, restoring the urothelial integrity and is a giant leap for its potential of yielding stricture recurrence-free good quality of life to patients wi
