Researcher and academic specializing in Optical Wireless Communication and next-generation wireless networks. I hold a Ph.D. from IIIT-Delhi in Optical Wireless Communication and an M.Tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering from IIT Kharagpur.
Research: My research focuses on LiFi/Visible Light Communication (VLC) and Hybrid/Heterogeneous LiFi–WiFi Networks, with particular emphasis on LiFi PHY/MAC, link aggregation, mobility management, handover, blockage and shadowing modeling, orientation-aware communication, AP/user association, resource allocation, fairness, rate maximization, outage analysis, stochastic channel modeling, and network optimization. My work also includes MILP/LPP and Pareto-based optimization, experimental LiFi–WiFi testbed development, and integrated sensing and communication for optical wireless networks.
Teaching: My teaching experience spans Analog Communication, Digital Communication, Wireless Communication, Digital Signal Processing, Basic Electronics, Analog Electronics, Advanced Electronics, Electronic Measurements and Instrumentation, Circuit Theory and Design, Wireless Networks, Wireless System Implementation, and Research Methods. I have experience in both theoretical and laboratory instruction, curriculum development, assessment, student mentoring, and project supervision.
