Your primary focus will be to conduct advanced channel and spectrum simulations and measurements at microwave and millimetre-wave (mmWave) frequencies. Building on this work, you will develop a new generation of data-driven spatio-temporal channel and spectrum models tailored to future wireless systems. You will also explore the cutting-edge application of AI and machine learning in channel prediction.
As an active member of CWI, you will contribute to our world-class research output by publishing in high impact national and international journals and presenting your findings at conferences. You will also have the opportunity to assist with funding proposals and supervise undergraduate projects.
