Members of Wireless Networks Lab win Russian Presidential Scholarship

The Ministry of Education and Science of Russia has published a list of winners of the the Russian Presidential Scholarship. 500 winners were selected from more than 4.6 thousand applications, four of whom are MIPT postgraduate students and members of the Wireless Networks Lab: Ilya Burtakov, Egor Endovitsky (supervisor Evgeny Khorov), Maxim Susloparov and Alexey Shashin (supervisor Artem Krasilov).

Each of the winners is the author of numerous research papers devoted to improving the performance of modern communication systems. They actively participate in industrial projects carried out jointly with major manufacturers of modern telecommunications equipment. During their work in the Laboratory, the winners presented their results at many conferences and published their results in leading scientific journals, including those in the first quartiles. Young scientists received scholarships for work carried out as part of their dissertations.

Ilya Burtakov’s thesis is devoted to improving wireless networks using reconfigurable intelligent surfaces. It is planned to develop several algorithms to control such surfaces for high-quality service to subscribers with high mobility.

Egor Endovitsky’s work studies various distortions of channel measurements and their impact on the data transfer rate in multi-antenna systems. The results of the study have already contributed to the refinement of simulation models of such systems. In addition, the results can be used by developers of Wi-Fi access point software in the future.

The goal of Maxim Susloparov’s thesis is to improve the quality of service for various traffic types in 5G networks using different frequency ranges. The developed methods will allow serving more users in each cell, which will make digital services more accessible and improve the financial performance of cellular operators.

Alexey Shashin’s thesis is devoted to the development of radio resource management algorithms in 5G networks, which will ensure ultra-reliable low latency communication. These algorithms are necessary for a number of modern and future applications: unmanned aerial vehicles, virtual reality applications, remote surgeries, and much more.

Congratulations to our teammates on receiving a prestigious scholarship! I am sure that this scholarship will become a significant incentive for obtaining new scientific results and successfully defending their dissertations

says Artem Krasilov, senior researcher at the Wireless Networks Lab.
