About

Hi, I'm Soujanya Thallapalli, working as a senior project engineer (research) for a project titled "6G Research and Standardization," sponsored by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (Government of India), undertaken in G.S. Sanyal School of Telecommunications (GSSST), Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur (PI: Prof. Debarati Sen). My research interests include 6G and beyond wireless communications, THz, ultra-massive MIMO, signal processing for wireless, AI4PHY, near-field, FR3, IRS, ISAC, and extreme/gigantic MIMO. Actively seeking postdoctoral positions.

My PhD thesis, titled "Channel Estimation for Dual Wideband Terahertz Ultra-Massive MIMO Systems in 6G Communications," was under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Debarati Sen at the GSSST, IIT Kharagpur, India.
I have contributed to “Channel Modelling and Signal Processing for Terahertz Systems for 6G” (a Samsung Research India-sponsored project) and “MARL-Based Beam Formation in IRS-Assisted Two-Way Ultra-Massive MIMO Communications for 6G Standardization” (an IIT Kharagpur AI4ICPS-sponsored project).

I'm very grateful to my Ph.D. supervisor, Prof. Debarati Sen; M.Tech supervisor, Prof. Rajoo Pandey; and all my teachers for being great examples to follow. In my spare time, I enjoy drawing and reading books. I'm always eager to talk about research, creation, and exploring life in different ways. I enjoy fostering young minds.
