I study applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence for physical layer waveform and receiver design in wireless and optical communications.
Advisor : Dr. Hany Elgala
My research focuses on waveform and receiver design for wireless and optical communications, with particular attention to robustness and receiver complexity.
Designing waveform bases that reorganize how symbols interact in fractional delay–Doppler channels, so a receiver can focus on a limited number of dominant interactions.
Comparing learned designs with OTFS and AFDM under matched channels and receiver budgets to understand where adaptation helps.
Jointly learning transmit and receive bases to reduce interference from residual carrier-frequency offset, alongside a model-guided receiver that refines symbol estimates.
The work explores the tradeoff between communication reliability and peak-to-average power ratio.
Learning constellation geometry and receiver decisions together under LED clipping constraints, including modulation orders beyond the usual powers of two.
This allows finer control of transmission rate in visible light communication systems.
Using cross-stitch neural networks to recover multiple information streams within a composite VLC waveform, sharing useful features between related demodulation tasks.
An interpretable measure of task dependence helps explain when that shared processing is useful.
