Doctoral Researcher
2024 - Present
CWC-RT, University of Oulu
Oulu, Finland
My research focused on signal processing for physical and link layers, utilizing Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) to enhance connectivity and Joint Communication and Sensing (JCAS). This involved exploring performance limits, formulating optimization problems for key KPIs (connectivity, spectral/power/energy efficiency), designing algorithms using optimization and machine learning, and validating them through simulations.
