Welcome to My Homepage!

I'm Marwan Hadri Azmi, an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Artificial Intelligence, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), and the Director of the Wireless Communication Centre (WCC), a Higher Institution Centre of Excellence (HICoE) at UTM.

Previously, I was with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, UTM, where I developed my teaching and research expertise in wireless communications, communication theory, and related areas. Building on this background, my current research explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into communication systems, with a focus on edge AI, semantic communications, and intelligent wireless networks for 5G, 6G, and beyond.

I received my B.Eng. (Hons.) degree in Electrical and Telecommunications from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia in 2003, followed by an M.Sc. degree in Communications and Signal Processing from Imperial College London in 2005 and a Ph.D. degree in Telecommunications Engineering from the University of New South Wales, Australia, in 2012.

From 2012 to 2014, I undertook a sabbatical at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada, where I conducted research on cooperative spectrum sensing and information relaying in cognitive wireless communications, supported by Research In Motion (RIM) Inc. and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).

In 2019, I undertook a three-month research secondment at the University of York, U.K., under the European Union's Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) programme. During this secondment, I collaborated on the project Coded Slotted ALOHA for 5G Communications, focusing on graph-based modeling and optimization of coded slotted ALOHA schemes for massive machine-type communications.

My research interests lie at the intersection of AI and wireless communications, particularly edge AI, semantic communications, graph-based inference and optimization, and resource-efficient intelligent communication systems. My broader expertise includes communication theory, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), cooperative communications, error-control coding, low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, and wireless channel characterization and modeling.
