Work Experience
-
May 2025-Present Research Fellow
Queen's University Belfast - Leading research on wireless sensing using Wi-Fi, with a focus on the IEEE 802.11bf protocol and Wi-Fi-based radio frequency fingerprinting (RFFI) for device authentication and physical-layer security.
-
July 2024-May 2025 Research Associate
University of Liverpool - Developed innovative wireless security solutions for Wi-Fi devices using advanced machine learning techniques as part of the HASC Future Communications Hub.
- Designed RFFI algorithms achieving over 95% identification accuracy in cross-environment, NLOS, and mobile conditions.
- Developed a noise-robust RFFI system using a diffusion model; published at WCNC 2025 and received the Best Workshop Paper Award.

Research Experiences
-
Jan 2025-Present Domain Generalisable Wi-Fi-Based RFFI
Queen's University Belfast - Developed a domain generalisable RFFI system capable of identifying Wi-Fi devices in previously unseen environments, addressing cross-environment robustness challenges caused by multipath propagation and channel-induced distortions.
- Demonstrated the system live at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026 Barcelona, processing over 52,000 inference packets in real-time and achieving 92% overall accuracy without prior exposure to the exhibition hall environment.
- Built a real-time prototype using USRP N210 SDR and multiple Wi-Fi dongles (9 devices across 3 brands) with deep learning-based device classification.
