👋Hello there, I'm Sadia!

📚 I am a Ph.D. student and University Fellow in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at The Ohio State University, where I work as a Graduate Research Fellow in the Cosine Lab, advised by Prof. Kannan Athreya.

📡 My research builds AI/ML for wireless systems on real hardware: physics-guided channel state information (CSI) prediction for 5G NR, Wi-Fi 7 sensing for contactless healthcare monitoring, and over-the-air federated learning on a live 5G cellular setup.

👩🏻‍💻 Before my Ph.D., I spent 2 years as a Radio Access Network (RAN) Engineer at Robi Axiata PLC, optimizing a live 2G/3G/4G network and deploying Massive MIMO.

👩🏻‍🎓 I graduated with a B.Sc. degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) in 2023.

🌐 I want to use innovative engineering solutions to advance next-generation wireless technologies, with the goal of enhancing global connectivity and addressing critical challenges in this field.

📧 I am always looking for meaningful collaborations and opportunities to contribute to cutting-edge research. If you're interested in working together, feel free to contact me at afrose.4@osu.edu.
