Kartik Patel

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Nokia Bell Labs, Murray Hill. I received Ph.D. in the electrical and computer engineering from the University of Texas at Austin under the joint supervision of Prof. Sanjay Shakkottai and Prof. Robert Heath. While in UT Austin, I was also part of Wireless Networking and Communications Group (WNCG) and 6G@UT. Before joining UT Austin, I received my B.Tech. degree in electronics and communication engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India, in 2017.

My research interests lie at the intersection of wireless networks, sensing, and machine learning. My postdoctoral work is focused on prototyping a large-scale backscatter network for wide area applications. Over the course of my Ph.D., I have worked on various topics covering the physical layer, MAC layer, and network planning. I also enjoy designing the testbeds and prototyping my research on real-world systems.
