Broad Research Interest and Current Directions

I pursue academic research, research translation, as well as technology development on advanced wireless communication systems, with emphasis on new/emerging technologies.

Current research directions of my research group (IITD-CNRG) at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi include:

AIML-aided Spectrum Sharing and In-Band Coexistence

UAV aided Communications

Non-Terrestrial Networks

Sustainable and Green Communications

Energy Harvesting and Wireless Energy Transfer

Smart IoT

Smart Grid Networks

Optical Wireless Systems


My research group has hands-on experience on the following tools: probabilistic and stochastic analysis, performance modeling of systems, Markov modeling and analysis, queuing theory, optimization theory, machine learning, Bayesian learning, and compressed sensing. For experimental research, the research lab is equipped with state-of-the-art test and measurement equipment along with computation facilities and communication networks related various software. Besides, open `Beyond 5G' R&D and end-to-end test facility at Bharti School of Telecommunication is also used for translation of some of my research.

Some major ongoing or recently completed research, translation, and technology development projects are listed below:
