I’m a doctoral researcher in Communication Engineering at the University of Oulu’s Centre for Wireless Communications (CWC).
My research brings together AI, next-generation mobile systems, non-terrestrial networks, and edge–cloud computing. I use deep reinforcement learning, prediction, and optimization to study how networks can discover and deliver services under mobility and resource constraints.
My dissertation, Autonomous Service Discovery and Composition in Next Generation Mobile Systems, is supervised by Professor Tarik Taleb.
Before my doctoral work, I worked in network research and software engineering. That background continues to shape how I connect research ideas with working systems.
