I have been trained as an electronics and communications engineer during my university life. Since 2018, I have been researching wireless communications and creating wireless communication solutions. To be more specific, I have a journey starting from the physical layer of the communication systems. I have worked on physical layer security, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, and molecular communications. Then at the industry side I moved up to the data link layer by working on mesh Wi-Fi systems. Moreover, I have hands-on experience in communication system prototyping via software-defined radios and software-defined networking. Lastly, I dived into the AI world to create smart audio solutions. In short, I use my signal processing, communication theory and mathematics knowledge to help the genuinely connected world vision be real by creating smart algorithms and systems.
