My research focuses on advancing wireless communication and sensing technologies through the use of signal processing and machine learning, particularly in the areas of sensing, the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, and emerging 6G technologies. I address connectivity challenges in non-terrestrial networks by leveraging my expertise in statistical signal processing and machine learning to drive innovation. I also focus on effective ways for representation in communications and sensing. Recent projects include investigating UAV-assisted technologies for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites and developing cognitive satellite radios. These efforts aim to enhance global connectivity and improve communication efficiency in both terrestrial and satellite networks, contributing to the next generation of wireless systems.
