About me

At IIT Kanpur, my research is centred on advancing the theory and development of wireless and cellular communication systems. We utilise a unique combination of theory and practical development of wireless systems to tackle the pressing problems in this domain. We work closely with various govt organisations, industry and R&D groups to accomplish this.

Praise from honorable PM

Students

Actively Looking for motivated PhD, Masters and BTech students to work with me on cutting-edge problems in 5G+/6G wireless systems.

  • [Current Interests] Design, analyze and optimize 5G+ and 6G wireless systems by applying machine/deep learning techniques, and optimization methods

    • Please check my research interests, papers, projects and talks for specific topics.

  • [Current Interests] Performing standard specific research – currently leading a govt-funded project to generate IPR and take those IPRs as contributions to 5G+/6G standard

  • [Current Interests] Building wireless systems to evaluate their realistic performance – recently designed the first indigenous 5G network.

  • Interested students can contact me by email with their resume.
