UIC Commencement -- May 2019

With Farhad Farzami Ph.D..

UIC

University of Illinois at Chicago.

Prof. Besma Smida

I am an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Illinois at Chicago. Before that I held academic positions at Purdue University Norhwest and Harvard University. My research focuses on the areas of Wireless Communication Theory. I was awarded the INSIGHT Into Diversity Magazine's 2015 "Inspiring Women in STEM". I am the recipient of the Academic Gold Medal of the Governor General of Canada in 2007 and the NSF CAREER award in 2015.

My Team

Md. Atiqul Islam

I am working on enabling full-duplex communication systems that have the potential of doubling the spectral efficiency compared to conventional communication technologies through simultaneous uplink and downlink communication in the same frequency resources.

Seiran Khaledian Ph.D.

I defended my thesis on "Enabling In-band Full-duplex Communication" in March 2019.

Xinghao (Brian) Gu

I’m studying the optimization of training and feedbacks of wireless channels in the physical layer and the link layer.

Hamza Soury Ph.D.

My current research focuses on implementing a unified wireless control structural framework to improve building reliability in natural hazards, specifically earthquakes. In addition, I am investigating the impact of finite packet length and finite training pilots on channel estimation error in order to optimize the channel capacity.

Prithvi Rayasam

I’m analyzing practical  single antenna full duplex SDR systems.

Konstantin Muranov

I’m designing blind channel estimation techniques for full-duplex Wireless Relay Systems.

Inherent Self-Interference Cancellation

Instead of estimating the self-interference (SI) signal and subtracting it from the Rx signal, we use the inherent secondary SI signal at the circulator..
