ECSE and RPI welcome a new ECSE faculty member, Dr. Ish Jain. Dr. Jain started as an Assistant Professor in ECSE in August.
Ish received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California at San Diego in past summer. He received his M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at New York University and B. Tech. in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur, India, in 2016. He interned at VMware during his doctoral study and at Nokia Bell Labs during his Master’s study.
Ish’s overall research interests lie in next-generation communication and networking. He has conducted research investigations in 5G/6G mmWave communication, wireless sensing applied to location and sensing, and identification and mitigation of wireless security vulnerabilities. His research introduced a frequency-dependent multi-beam framework in a mmWave system to allow a robust, scalable and efficient multi-user environment. He also explored using frequency-based sensing for localization in autonomous systems and security risks due to mmWave reflections. In each of these areas, Ish combines theoretical analysis with experimental demonstrations using a mmWave communication testbed that he developed and built.
