Current undergrads at USU are welcome to work with us. We will have hourly paid positions for the students with the skillsets needed to help our group build some prototypes.
Note: Depending on our needs and funding availability, we will assess and help you build those skills before we can offer hourly wages.
We are always on the lookout for highly motivated graduate students. The WiN-ML group is interested in the holistic design of distributed ML algorithms in wireless networks and developing physics-aided learning solutions for next-generation wireless networks. The team usually looks for students who will, ideally, work in one of the following two thrusts:
Thrust-1: fundamental research problems of privacy-preserving distributed machine learning in wireless networks
Thrust-2: fundamental research problems of 6G wireless networks using ML and optimization
Note: If you are interested in working with us, please feel free to send an e-mail with "Prospective Student: Program Name, Starting Semester" in the subject line and with your CV, transcripts, and up to 3 representative publications at 📧 ferdous.pervej@usu.edu, clearly indicating your research interest(s) and whether you are looking for funding (in terms of graduate assistantship) from the group/USU. While I usually try to read e-mails from prospective students, I may not be able to reply to all of them due to time constraints: my apologies in advance. Before writing me, please check the following requirements:
Minimum Requirements:
A bachelor’s degree in electrical/communication/telecommunication/computer engineering or any closely related fields

Basic understanding of optimization and willingness to dive deeper
Basic understanding of different classical machine learning algorithms and willingness to dive deeper
Good at Python programming and have experience with deep learning libraries like PyTorch and/or Tensorflow
Proven track record: no prior publication is necessary as long as your transcripts and CV speak for yourself
Preferred Qualifications:
A prior MS degree in electrical /communication/telecommunication/computer engineering or any closely related fields
Good knowledge of wireless communication
Good knowledge of optimization
Good knowledge of machine learning
Prior experience with developer kits (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson developer kits)
