Spectrum | Forensics | Digital Twins

Doctoral researcher in telecommunications and digital forensics.

I build realistic spectrum-management models that combine RF propagation, mobility, and geospatial constraints. My work focuses on digital twins that help allocate contested spectrum and reconstruct historical telecom environments for forensic analysis.

Telecommunications

Telecommunications research in spectrum management.

Dynamic spectrum management

My work frames spectrum allocation as a time-sensitive, geospatial coordination problem and applies realistic RF propagation modelling to make allocation decisions defensible.

  • Mobility-aware RF coverage planning
  • Multi-user interference coordination (SIR)
  • Vertical spectrum use for drones

Digital twin modelling

Advanced 3D digital twins combine terrain and urban data with RF ray tracing to simulate real-world conditions at scale.

  • 3D RF propagation with ray tracing
  • Terrain-aware and urban modelling
  • Decentralised coordination with MANETs
Digital Forensics

Telecommunications evidence with defensible reconstruction.

I build historical digital twins that reconstruct past network conditions so telecom evidence can be tested with reachability and RF analysis.

Historical network reconstruction

Rebuild tower placement, antenna configurations, terrain, and land use to simulate past network behaviour.

Reachability + RF propagation

Combine coverage modelling with movement constraints to bound plausible device locations and alibis.

Legacy technology analysis

Account for older standards, spectrum allocations, and device behaviour to avoid present-day assumptions.

Defensible forensic reporting

Deliver transparent, reproducible analyses suitable for legal scrutiny and expert testimony.

Media

EduTech

Linguanetica language study app.

I build learning technology alongside my research. Linguanetica is a language study web app focused on structured practice and retention.

Explore the platform, see the learning flow, and follow updates as it evolves.
