I specialize in the convergence of Multimedia Communications, 6G Infrastructure, and Data Spaces. My research focuses on architecting network-application synergies, allowing next-generation multimedia applications and 6G networks to operate seamlessly as an intelligent, unified system.
- Multimedia Communications: Maximizing Quality of Experience (QoE) via advanced encoding and low-latency streaming protocols (WebRTC, DASH/CMAF, MoQ/QUIC).
- 6G & Edge Orchestration: Designing "Network-Application Synergy" using standardized Network APIs (3GPP NWDAF/NEF, GSMA CAMARA) for dynamic resource orchestration across RAN and Edge.
- Data Spaces: Developing secure, sovereign, and decentralized data-sharing frameworks to ensure interoperability and data ownership.
- Agentic AI & Trusted Access: Leveraging Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) to establish immutable trust and policy-governed resource access for autonomous agents.
