🎓
Top School
Syed Mahmud is a wireless communications researcher and engineer with eight years of industry and academic experience, currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science and working as a Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Utah. He designs and implements spectrum-sharing and coexistence solutions across ISM, CBRS, and 6 GHz bands, combining systems-level rate control with reinforcement learning to maximize utilization while protecting incumbents. His work spans practical prototyping—such as a novel Wi‑Fi MIMO‑OFDM method that obfuscates human gestures from CSI—and simulation-driven performance optimization for 5G-NR/Wi‑Fi coexistence. Prior roles in telecom operations and R&D (including Nokia Bell Labs and Bangla Trac) give him deep hands-on expertise in core network equipment, capacity planning, and real-world deployment constraints. He also teaches networking and security courses, mentoring students on protocol implementations in Python and Java. Based in Salt Lake City, he blends academic rigor with production-facing engineering, uniquely bridging regulatory, simulation, and system design perspectives.
