Dr. Ekant Sharma is an Assistant Professor at the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India. The main focus of his research is -- design of optimization algorithms for beyond 5G /6G wireless communication systems, that can provide multi-gigabit data rates and can improve energy consumption and spectrum utilization by orders of magnitude. Please visit ekant.ece.faculty.iitr.ac.in for more details. His dissertation research was analytical but real wireless systems are intricate and cannot usually be captured using neat analytical models alone. Answering whether a technique really works requires careful system design and rigorous experimental evaluation. Before joining IIT Roorkee, he worked at 5G testbed lab at IIT Kanpur where the overall objective was to build a testbed that closely resembles a real-world 5G deployment. It also helped in evaluating novel algorithms based on 3GPP NR 5G specification for broadband 5G cellular systems in the realistic channel and interference settings. By investigating ideas in real wireless settings, he gained a fundamental understanding of why certain designs work and others do not. Such investigations validated theory, provided fresh insights, and often suggested new directions for theoretical research.
