After 25 years at InterDigital, including the past 20 in the IP organization, I recently decided to leave my position as VP, Head of Licensing Support. During my tenure, I had the privilege of working with outstanding teams across the organization and am proud of the many licensing deals we completed together. I want to express my deep gratitude to the many talented and dedicated colleagues who made my years at InterDigital so rewarding. I would like to especially thank the Licensing Support team, whose professionalism, dedication, and hard work were central to our accomplishments over the years. It was a privilege to work alongside all of you. I look forward to staying connected and plan to enjoy a leisurely summer with family and friends before deciding on next steps!

Great to share that we successfully demonstrated two end-to-end wireless AI systems at the 6G@UT Forum this year! This event brought 2.5 years of my Ph.D. work to life across rich experimental platforms. 𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐎 𝟏: 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢-𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐫, 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢-𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐎𝐓𝐀 𝐅𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐎𝐓𝐀-𝐅𝐋) We demonstrated collaborative edge AI training by combining ML models within the wireless medium using a fundamental physics principle signal superposition. This extends prior work to a multi-user, multi-antenna setup with realistic site-specific wireless conditions including multi-path effects and large-scale path loss with an OFDM-based cellular waveform. Our experimental testbed included: • High-fidelity ray tracing of an urban outdoor Helsinki, Finland environment via Keysight Technologies RaySim • Real-time channel playback via Keysight Technologies PROPSIM • Multi-UE and multi-antenna device integration using NI (National Instruments) #USRP Software Defined Radios ( #SDRs ) This work has been a key part of my PhD, and would not have been possible without the support of my friend Divyadharshini Muruganandham , guidance from my advisor Prof. Kaushik Chowdhury and the InterDigital, Inc. team ( Asil Koc , Philip Pietraski , Mohamed Amine Arfaoui, Ph.D. , Guodong (Gordon) Zhang ), and platform support from Keysight Technologies ( Irene Kuang , Nelson Mayedo , Usman Virk, Janne Heikkinen). 𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐎 𝟐: 𝐀𝐈-𝐄𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 I was fortunate to contribute to this demo during my internship at InterDigital, Inc. We developed an end-to-end real-time system integrating: • Autonomous driving simulator • Video encoder • Wireless network • AI agent for adaptive control of video encoder Our AI enabled solution provided guidance to the video encoder in real time under changing network conditions. This ensured reliable #uplink video for mission-critical scenarios such as autonomous driving and remote #teleoperation . Developed during my internship at InterDigital, Inc. under the guidance of Subhramoy Mohanti and Dale Seed .
