My name is Avishek Nag and I am a passionate researcher and a devoted educator with a dream to lead and inspire. I am also a firm believer of teaming up with interdisciplinary experts to build systems of impact.Currently, I am a lecturer/assistant professor at University College Dublin.I completed my PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of California, Davis. My PhD dissertation developed new knowledge and understanding of the problems on cost-efficient and energy-efficient telecommunication network planning and traffic engineering. Over 12 years of research in Telecommunications have helped me in developing and honing my skills on network optimisation, graph theory, linear algebra, signal processing, system modelling, machine learning, data analysis, and algorithms. In addition to that, I possess the following transferable skills:► Good knowledge of the telecommunication industry and a follower of emerging technology trends in the same, as manifested through publications of highly-cited publications and best-paper awards.► Strong leadership skills as evidenced by driving collaborations with reputed research groups in optical networking that resulted in over 55 publications in renowned journals and conferences.► Very strong skills in translating real-world problems into analytical models and solving the same as evident through contributions in different areas of information technology spanning from optical networks, IoT, 5G, and Data Analytics.► Ability to identify commercially impactful technologies through combined experiences of working in industrial research labs, academic research labs, and patent law firms.► Ability to work in a global collaborative team environment.If you want to learn more about me please feel free to connect with me!
