About the group
Communication that is faster, denser, and more intelligent.
The Communication Systems Research Group investigates how information travels — through radio spectrum, through light, and through learning algorithms that make networks decide for themselves.
What we focus on
We deliberately span the electromagnetic spectrum, because tomorrow's networks will not live in a single band. The same design questions — capacity, reliability, efficiency, coexistence — recur from sub-6 GHz radio up to optical frequencies, and our research follows them across every band.
This breadth lets us treat radio, millimeter-wave, terahertz, and optical wireless as one continuous design space rather than isolated silos.
How we work
Principles behind the research.
Model, then measure
We build tractable analytical models of interference, capacity, and efficiency, then validate them against simulation and, where possible, testbeds.
Learn from the channel
Where closed-form design falls short, learning-based agents adapt directly to the radio environment to squeeze out reliability and efficiency.
Publish and share
Findings go out through IEEE and international venues, and into the courses we teach — communication, wireless, machine learning, and beyond.
Work with us
Students curious about wireless, optical, or ML-driven communication are encouraged to reach out about theses, projects, and research assistant roles.
