Siddhartha Kumar • Senior Systems Engineer
Qamcom Research and Technology AB • Sweden
I am a Senior Systems Engineer at Qamcom Research and Technology AB, where I develop efficient algorithms for advanced communication and Joint Communication and Sensing (JCAS) systems. My work focuses on applied linear algebra and graph theory to solve complex challenges in the telecommunications industry.
I began my academic journey at Amrita Vishwavidyapeetham, India, where I received my Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Electronics and Communication Engineering in 2013. My bachelor's thesis, supervised by Dr. Shikha Tripathi, was awarded funding through the Government of Karnataka's KSCST program.
In 2015, I earned my Master of Science in Communication Engineering from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. During my master's studies, I also served as a research intern in the Communication Systems Group within the Department of Signals and Systems. My thesis was jointly supervised by Prof. Alexandre Graell i Amat, Dr. Iryna Andriyanova, and Dr. Fredrik Brännström.
Following my master's, I pursued my doctoral studies at the University of Bergen and Simula UiB AS in Norway from 2015 to 2018. Under the guidance of Dr. Eirik Rosnes, Prof. Alexandre Graell i Amat, and Dr. Øyvind Ytrehus, I completed my Ph.D.
My primary research interests include JCAS systems, forward error correction, and information-theoretic privacy and security for distributed storage and computing. I have also contributed to the academic community by serving as a Technical Program Committee (TPC) member for prestigious conferences, including the IEEE Global Communications Conference (GLOBECOM) in 2020 and the IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC) in 2021.
