Personal Statement

I am an electrical engineer with a passion for innovative research in the field of wireless communication networks. My research focuses on the design and modelling of energy-efficient wireless communication systems. Specifically, I am investigating how the energy carried by radio frequency (RF) signals in cellular network transmitters can be harnessed and optimised to wirelessly charge mobile devices within the network. Currently, I am proposing the integration of machine learning algorithms to develop intelligent mobile devices capable of adapting to the energy harvesting arrival rate from intermittent energy sources and the variations introduced by fading communication channels. My main goal is to contribute to the development of sustainable and eco-friendly communication systems.
