S.M. Zafaruddin received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering (communications) from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi in 2013. His Ph.D. degree research was on crosstalk cancellation for vectored digital subscriber line (DSL) systems. From 2012 to 2015, he was with Ikanos Communications (now Qualcomm), Bangalore, India, working directly with the CTO Office, Red Bank, New Jersey, USA, where he was involved in research and development for xDSL systems. From 2015 to 2018, he was with the faculty of engineering at Bar-Ilan University, Ramat Gan, Israel, as a post-doctoral researcher working on signal processing for wireline and wireless communications. The Council for Higher Education, Israel, awarded him the Planning and Budgeting Commission Fellowship for Outstanding Post-Doctoral Researchers from China and India (2016–2018). He is currently a faculty member in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, BITS-Pilani, Pilani. His current research interests include signal processing for wireless and wireline communications, distributed signal processing, resource allocation, machine learning, wireless sensor networks, 5G, DSL. He is an Associate Editor of IEEE Access. He is a Senior Member, IEEE.
