Muhammad Osama Shahid

I am joining Wayne State University, Department of Computer Science as an Assistant Professor

I got my PhD student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Wisconsin-Madison. I worked at UWConnect lab under the supervision of Prof. Bhuvana Krishnaswamy. My research lies in the areas of edge computing, wireless networks, wireless sensing, distributed systems, and cyber-physical systems. My research focuses on developing next-generation communication systems that enable smart and seamless connectivity for ultra-low power devices. Toward this, I have built intelligent, low-power wireless systems that transition from inflexible hardware-based frameworks to software-based solutions, enabling co-existence of different wireless technologies. In my dissertation, I have leveraged cloud and AI/ML-based frameworks to design high-throughput, scalable, and low-power wireless networks, enabling large-scale connectivity for low-power devices. I interned at Samsung Research America and Qualcomm Technologies during the summers of 2021, 22 and 23 where I worked on the next generation of Wi-Fi to build low power contactless sensing systems that utilize ubiquitous communication signals for opportunistic environmental sensing.

My research works have been published at premier conferences including Sigcomm, NSDI, CoNEXT, Sensys and Nature Communications Engineering.
