Background
I hold a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Guilan University in Iran. Since 2019, I have been working in the field of optical wireless communication, focusing on innovative technologies such as Li-Fi. Over the years, I have gained valuable research experience and had the opportunity to present my work at several international conferences. Currently, I am pursuing a Ph.D. where I continue to explore cutting-edge solutions to improve wireless communication systems, collaborating with leading research institutions. I highly value the practical point of view in my research, as at Fraunhofer we put science into action by transforming theoretical concepts into real-world applications.
