About

I’m Vishnu.

I am a doctoral researcher at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, with my PhD defence planned for January 16, 2026. My research lies at the intersection of communication, computing, and intelligence at the edge. I study how to make distributed intelligence more efficient, adaptive, and resource-aware, particularly in cellular networks, edge computing, and edge AI. To do this, I apply tools from stochastic optimisation, probabilistic modelling, and reinforcement learning.

A key part of my work focuses on optimising the data captured, transmitted, and processed by using intelligent sampling and real-time offloading strategies. Another line of research investigates the stochastic behaviour of 5G radio access networks, analysing delay-violation probabilities, HARQ latency, and resource utilisation, with applications to URLLC and industrial wireless systems.

Before starting my PhD at KTH in March 2021, I spent almost five years in the telecommunications industry, working with Intel and Apple, where I developed and verified physical- and MAC-layer features in their LTE/5G-NR modem platforms.

I hold a master's degree in Communication Systems from IT Madras and a bachelor's degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from NIT Calicut.

I come from a village in Kerala, a southern state in India. Since 2021, I have been living in Sollentuna, a northern suburb of Stockholm, Sweden, with my family. My three favourite hobbies are motorcycling,  football, and trekking.
