I received my PhD and MASc in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Ryerson University in 2019 and 2015, respectively. Prior to joining Laurier, I was a postdoctoral fellow at DABNEL lab, Computer Science department at Ryerson. I also worked as a research assistant in Computer Science department at Thompson River University in 2020.
In the last few years, I have been working on communication networking aspects of resource management in 5G cloud radio access networks with emphasis on algorithm design, network architecture development, and system-level performance analysis. I, along with my students, colleagues, and supervisors, have designed novel algorithms and communication protocols for Cloud RAN supported IoT networks, that have both (i) enhanced network performance, in terms of spectrum efficiency, coverage, and energy efficiency, and (ii) satisfied a wide range of cellular IoT devices' requirements and constraints.
My research interests include:
Currently I am accepting talented domestic graduate students for the Thesis-Based Master in Applied Computing (MAC) program. If you are interested, kindly send me your CV, transcripts, and statement of purpose to my email at lferdouse@wlu.ca
Successful candidates will have the opportunity to work at the cutting edge of technology, exploring a wide range of topics of mobile communications, non-terrestrial networks, 6G networks, optimization and the application of machine learning, reinforcement learning, and deep learning in communication systems and industrial Internet of things applications.
Mehak Basharat (Research Associate): received her PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) (previously known as Ryerson University) in 2023. She also completed her Master's in Electrical and Computer Engineering from TMU in 2017. Before that, she obtained her Bachelor's degree in Telecommunication Engineering from the National University of Computer & Emerging Sciences in Islamabad, Pakistan, in 2009. Her research interests are focused on the Internet of Things (IoT) and energy harvesting in 5G and beyond networks.
