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
For our efforts in designing indigenous 5G network. [Mann Ki Baat Oct 2022]
For our 5G testbed and standardization work. [IITK 2021 Convocation]
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.
Built remote radio head and baseband unit hardware from scratch.
Indigenous 5G network was showcased in UP Global Investor and G20 Summit in Lucknow Photo1
Interested students can contact me by email with their resume.
