Research & Academic

Between industry roles, I spent a decade in research at HKUST, NTU Singapore, Academia Sinica and Lund University, working on interference alignment, distributed beamforming and machine learning for cell-free massive MIMO. That work underpins how I approach constrained AI systems today.
