What is your research topic?
My field is millimeter-wave based positioning and sensing. There are two tracks for my research where one has been characterizing the radio channel for multipath propagation of millimeter-waves, and the other is proof of concept applications for intelligent transport.
What are you working on within NextG2Com?
The research on channel characterization has involved channel sounder measurements in experimental settings like university courtyard and outside environments in a residential area. The information we gained from the channel sounding experiments have been used for tests in a more realistic setting with an enhanced moving car and a customized 5G millimeter-wave base station. We have investigated the positioning capabilities of the mmwave system and compared it to traditional GPS-systems, to look at the feasibility of having mmwave-based systems using existing communication infrastructure and sensors on cars. This could also enable passive sensing, like detecting vulnerable road users. Taken together, the benchmarking of what millimeter-wave channels can offer, characterization of the dynamic behavior of multipaths, and experimental demonstration can lead to better algorithms for positioning and sensing.
What do you do when you’re not doing research?
My get away from life in research is my golden retriever Goli.
