About Mithra K

My work sits at the intersection of RF engineering, antenna design, and AI-driven security. I\'ve designed antenna systems that reduce mutual coupling in 5G MIMO arrays, developed quantum-inspired frameworks for network intrusion detection, contributed to O-RAN and 5G-NR infrastructure research, and applied deep learning to medical imaging challenges — because the best research rarely stays in one lane. My technical foundation spans the full cellular stack: 5G/5G-NR, LTE, VoLTE, O-RAN, GSM, GPRS, HSPA, and CDMA, grounded in years of hands-on RF performance optimisation and m-MIMO system design.Core expertise:5G · LTE · VoLTE · O-RAN · GSM · GPRS · HSPA · CDMA · MIMO · IDMA · Antenna Engineering · Mutual Coupling Reduction · Network Security · Quantum-Inspired AI · Deep Learning · MATLAB · RF Planning and OptimizationI\'ve published in Elsevier, and Springer — with 220+ citations — and hold patents in 5G cognitive FEMTO networks and AI-based medical diagnostics. As a peer reviewer for 80+ manuscripts across Access, Elsevier, and major international conferences, and as a judge for Princeton Research Day 2025, 2026, Conrad Challenge, and AzSEF, I\'ve had the privilege of evaluating research at the highest levels of academic and student science. Those experiences have made me a sharper, more rigorous researcher — seeing what the best minds are working on has a way of doing that.Beyond the research itself, I care deeply about education and mentorship. I believe knowledge compounds when it circulates — whether through publications, consulting on 5G deployments, reviewing manuscripts, or mentoring the next generation of wireless engineers. If you are working on something at the edge of wireless systems, AI, or network security — or looking for a peer reviewer, research collaborator, or RF consultant — I would love to connect.
