I am a Senior Lecturer and telecommunications-AI researcher specializing in intelligent and distributed network systems.My work combines federated learning, explainable AI, and intelligent 5G/6G network research. It builds onextensive industry experience in microwave backhaul, transport planning, and network optimization. I have publishedAI-driven methods for backhaul optimization, KPI monitoring, federated learning, and THz communications. I developedFedPA, a performance-aware framework for selective and resource-efficient federated aggregation. My current researchexplores Explainable and Agentic AI for telecom planning and autonomous operations. This directionintegrates intelligent reasoning with engineering models, simulators, and network optimization tools. My goal is todevelop trustworthy telecom AI that respects engineering constraints and human oversight. I also have experiencein grant writing, project delivery, technical reporting, and research supervision. My research has contributed to 25indexed publications covering telecom networks, healthcare AI, and distributed intelligence.
