Research description

My research focuses on the design, analysis and optimization of next-generation wireless communication systems, with an emphasis on improving spectral efficiency, energy efficiency, reliability, and scalability in increasingly dense and heterogeneous wireless networks. My work lies at the integration of wireless communications, massive MIMO systems, intelligent signal processing, non-orthogonal multiple access, reconfigurable and distributed networks, and machine learning for wireless systems.

Research areas

  • Multiple access techniques
  • Massive MIMO systems
  • Intelligent reflective surfaces
  • Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC)
  • Cell-free communication systems
