Research Interests
My research lies at the intersection of wireless communications and signal processing. I am particularly fascinated by how modern spectrum-sharing and multi-carrier techniques can address the growing demand for wireless bandwidth while enabling smarter, more adaptive radio systems.
Current Projects
Investigating the bit-error-rate (BER) performance of OFDM systems across various fading channel models (Rayleigh, Rician, Nakagami-m) using simulation and analytical techniques. Particular focus on the effect of cyclic prefix length and pilot-based channel estimation.
Exploring energy-detection and matched-filter based spectrum sensing methods in cognitive radio networks. The project studies how spread spectrum waveforms can be leveraged to covertly sense primary user activity in a shared spectrum environment.
A planned study on adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) schemes that dynamically adjust transmission parameters based on real-time channel quality indicators in dynamic spectrum access (DSA) networks, aiming to maximise spectral efficiency.
Research Groups & Affiliation
Department of Electrical Engineering, IIT Madras
I am a senior undergraduate student affiliated with the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras), Adyar, Chennai — 600036, Tamil Nadu, India. My academic work is conducted under the broader umbrella of the department's Communications & Signal Processing research activities.
Future Plans
After completing my B.Tech, I intend to pursue a master's programme in wireless communications or signal processing, deepening my understanding of the theoretical and applied aspects of modern radio systems.
