Akram Shafie
Post Doctoral Research Associate,
School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunication,
University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
Address: Room 320, School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications, Building G17, UNSW, Sydney, Australia
Brief Biography:
Dr. A. Shafie received the B.Sc. degree with first-class honors in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Peradeniya (UOP), Sri Lanka, in 2017, and the Ph.D. degree in Engineering and Computer Science from the Australian National University, Australia, in 2023. Prior to commencing his Ph.D., he worked as a Temporary Lecturer at UOP from 2018 to 2019. He is currently a Post Doctoral Research Associate in the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia.
As part of his Ph.D. research, Dr. A. Shafie delved into the investigation of novel communication paradigms that can be utilized to increase the reliability and efficiency of terahertz band communication systems. He was the first author and the primary contributor of a paper that won the Best Paper Awards at the 2022 IEEE Global Communications Conference (Globecom), and the recipient of the 2019 Sri Lankan President’s Award for Scientific Research. His current research interests include machine learning in wireless communication systems, terahertz communications, orthogonal time frequency space modulation, and integrated sensing and communication systems.

Delivered a seminar on "Delay Doppler plane modulation" at the Department of Electrical and Electronics, University of Peradeniya (UOP), Sri Lanka. The seminar was organized by the IEEE Student Branch Chapter of UOP https://www.facebook.com/100063706923991/posts/896102855856604/?mibextid=xfxF2i&rdid=4D3YR4u7C1u5fDks [24th January 2024].
Delivered a seminar on "Delay Doppler plane modulation for 5G and beyond eras" at the Australian National University. The seminar was organized by the IEEE Australian Capital Territory Section. During the seminar, I shed light on the cutting-edge communication technique of Delay-Doppler plane modulation (DDM), and its potential applications in high-mobility scenarios [18 August 2023].
My PhD thesis got accepted! My thesis is motivated to investigate the design and analysis of novel and efficient spectrum allocation strategies for multiuser terahertz band communication systems in the 6G and beyond era. The thesis can be accessed via ANU Open Research repository [February 2023].
It is a great honor to receive the 2019 Sri Lankan President’s Award for Scientific Research, for our journal article entitled "Implementation of a robust real-time non-intrusive load monitoring solution". The President’s Awards for Scientific Research are given to the top 100 scientific publications based on their SCImago Journal Ranking, where the authors are of Sri Lankan origin [January 2023].
It is a great honor to receive the Best Paper Award (top 16 papers out of nearly 1100 accepted papers and nearly 2800 submitted papers) from one of the most prestigious conferences, IEEE Global Communications Conference (Globecom) 2022, together with Nan Yang, Chunhui Li, Xiangyun (Sean) Zhou and Trung Q. Duong Read the announcement here [December 2022].
Was fortunate to have given an invited talk on "Spectrum Allocation strategies for Terahertz Communication Systems" at the ANU-Sungkyunkwan University joint workshop, held at Sungkyunkwan University, South Korea, in May 2022. Thank you, Prof. Jemin Lee, for the kind hospitality [May 2022].
A news article was published by the ANU to recognize our research efforts on terahertz band communications [3 September 2021]
PhD Research Spurs International race for 6G Terahertz Band Communications
Associate Professor Nan Yang and PhD candidate Akram Shafie have published promising research outcomes in the wireless communications paradigm that could bring revolutionary new applications from science fiction to reality.
