Kartik Patel

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the electrical and computer engineering program at the University of Texas at Austin. I am fortunate to be jointly supervised by Prof. Sanjay Shakkottai and Prof. Robert Heath. I am also part of Wireless Networking and Communications Group (WNCG) and 6G@UT. Before joining UT Austin, I received 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. Over the course of my Ph.D., I have worked on various topics covering the physical layer, MAC layer, and network planning. I also actively focus on validating my research on a mmWave testbed or using real-world measurements.

In the past, I have developed an NS3-based simulator for the Bluetooth v4.0 protocol. I have also developed a web-based display for GNU Radio as a part of Google Summer of Code 2017.
