Summary
Pouria Khodashenas is a telecom research and solutions leader with over a decade driving 5.5/6G innovation across industry, academia and standards bodies. He directs software networks research at i2CAT and advises MIT Horizon while chairing industry working groups and serving on ETSI’s technical steering committee, blending hands-on system design with policy and standardisation influence. His work spans Industry 4.0 and CCAM/CAV use cases, green digital transformation, edge computing and pre-commercial 6G architectures, plus practical coordination of Horizon Europe projects. A PhD in Telecommunications and a background in both optical/high-speed networks and industrial R&D give him rare end-to-end depth from physical infrastructure to orchestration and API exposure. Notably, he combines strategic roadmap leadership with direct technical stewardship in 3GPP/ETSI fora, closing the gap between research prototypes and deployable operator platforms.
