Multishape Radio Technologies: Shaping Electromagnetic Waves for Next-Generation Wireless Communications

I am conducting research on advanced beam engineering techniques for next-generation wireless communications, focusing on multishape radio technologies that exploit unique electromagnetic wave properties such as orbital angular momentum (OAM), non-diffracting Bessel beams, and curved Airy beams. My work explores how these structured electromagnetic waves, combined with reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) and sub-THz systems, can enable more flexible beam control, improved coverage, and high-capacity wireless transmission. Through this research, I aim to contribute to the development of innovative physical-layer technologies for future 6G wireless networks.
