Our research group focuses on the physical-layer modelling, system design and optimization, and performance analysis of cutting-edge communication technologies envisioned for the next generation (6G and 6G+) of mobile communication systems. We are mainly interested in communication/information theoretical and signal processing aspects of these communication systems.
The research topics currently being investigated are:
– Emergency communication networks using drones or search-and-rescue robots
– Resilient-by-design concepts for communication systems
– Reconfigurable radio environment empowered by meta-surfaces
– Joint communication and sensing
– Synthetic molecular communications (e.g., among communicating nano-robots in blood vessels for targeted drug delivery)

Harnessing Spatial Diversity for Physical Layer Security without Adversary Channel Knowledge
July 29, 2025
New IEEE TWC publication introduces BeamSec, a beam hopping method that improves secrecy in mmWave communication systems without knowing eavesdroppers’ channels.
How can wireless systems remain secure when we know nothing about potential eavesdroppers? Our latest work, published in IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, proposes BeamSec – a novel approach that leverages spatial diversity to protect mmWave communication against eavesdropping.
