Joshua Roy PalathinkalI'm a Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame and a Presidential Leadership Fellow, concurrently pursuing an M.S. in Applied and Computational Mathematics and Statistics. My research focuses on wireless networks, shared spectrum, and measurement-driven analysis of real-world deployed 4G-LTE, 5G-NR, and Wi-Fi systems. Previously, I earned an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Drexel University as a Seaman Endowed Fellow, and a B.Tech. in Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering from IIEST Shibpur, where I received the Undergraduate Research Excellence Award. Before moving into wireless networks, my work included signal processing, analog and digital hardware systems, device fabrication, nanotechnology, and materials modeling. I have published in leading conferences and journals, and received the Best Paper Award in Springer's Circuits, Systems, and Signal Processing, along with other recognitions. In summer 2025, I worked under Matt Ettus at a stealth startup on radio technology for drone networks. I also care strongly about leadership and teaching, and have served as a teaching assistant for more than 10 university-level courses. Pursuing my Ph.D. under Prof. Monisha Ghosh, former FCC Chief Technology Officer, has also given my research a policy dimension, with my work contributing to FCC comment filings on spectrum sharing and wireless regulations.
