Research

Philosophy

My research bridges fundamental theory and practical implementation for advanced wireless communications and sensing systems, with emphasis on:

  • Translating fundamental, information-theoretic principles into deployable systems
  • Using software-defined radio for experimental validation and technology transfer
  • Engaging students in hands-on implementation and system testing
  • Partnering with industry and government to ensure research addresses real-world needs
  • Contributing to spectrum policy, regulation, and management through system prototypes and data-driven analysis
Spiritual Foundation

“[T]he creative drive within humanity is not merely a byproduct of evolution, but a reflection of the divine image imprinted upon our very being. Just as the divine Creator brought forth new realities through the spoken word, so too do we, as created beings, partake in this sacred process of bringing forth new ideas, technologies, and solutions that transform the world around us.”

– Pitshou Moleka, “The Theology of Innovation”, 2024.
