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
– Distributed communication-constrained sensing
– Synthetic molecular communications (e.g., among communicating nano-robots in blood vessels for targeted drug delivery)
