Vuk Marojevic is an associate professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Mississippi State University, Starkville, MS, USA. He graduated from University of Hannover, Germany, and Barcelona Tech (UPC), Spain, with an MS and a Ph.D in electrical engineering. He is a principal investigator of the US National Science Foundation projects AERPAW and Open Artificial Intelligence Cellular (OAIC). His research interests include mobile communications, software radio, spectrum sharing, wireless testbeds and testing, and wireless security with application to mission-critical communications, open radio access network (O-RAN), and unmanned aircraft systems. He is an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology and the IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine.

Dr. Marojevic is an expert in open-source software for software radios, radios built in software. He was one of the first to undertake the complex endeavor to implement the 4G cellular protocol in software, make the software open and operational with commercial off-the-shelf software radio hardware. He has managed large-scale wireless research testbeds and co-designed AERPAW. He is now leading a multi-university US NSF project that is developing Open AI Cellular (OAIC): Prototyping Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Control and Testing Systems for Cellular Communications Research. The team has released the first open-source O-RAN compliant code for implementing 4G/5G systems that incorporate the near-real time RAN intelligent controller for deployment on software radio platforms: https://www.openaicellular.org
