We envision a future where communication is not merely faster, but inherently intelligent, adaptive, and resilient by design. Our research encompasses both the electromagnetic (macroscale) and molecular (microscale) domains, with a strong emphasis on physical-layer modeling, system design, and performance analysis as the foundation of next-generation communication systems (6G and beyond). To realize this vision, we draw on tools from information theory, signal processing, and artificial intelligence.
In the electromagnetic domain, we explore innoviative wireless paradigms that integrate communication, sensing, and computation across cloud-edge-device continua. We research emerging concepts such as programmable radio environments, communication-constrained distributed sensing, and data-driven wireless channel awareness in order to create adaptive and robust wireless networks that are capable of operating reliably in highly dynamic and constrained conditions, even under disruptions.
In parallel, we pioneer communication at the molecular scale, inspired by biological systems and extended through synthetic designs. From in-body nano-networks to airborne molecular signaling, we explore bio-compatible, energy-efficient, and context-aware communication mechanisms that open new frontiers in healthcare, environmental monitoring, and industrial settings.
