Based at Fredrik Bajers Vej 7C, C1-105, 9220 Aalborg Øst, he operates under the Connectivity section with research focusing on advanced wireless communication systems. His work bridges theoretical signal processing with practical network optimization challenges in next-generation telecommunications. Research Focus: Dr. Souza specializes in temporal dynamics within wireless networks, particularly preserving simultaneity and chronology for sensing applications. His expertise spans reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), quality of service optimization in crowded XL-MIMO environments, and non-stationary channel modeling for 5G/6G systems. Key methodologies include temporal window integration techniques and multiplexing strategies for eMBB/URLLC services, addressing critical gaps in real-time wireless sensing and ultra-reliable communications. Publication Trends: His 2023-2025 output reveals a concentrated trajectory toward solving temporal coherence challenges in perceptive networks. Six publications demonstrate progressive refinement of RIS-assisted control mechanisms, with increasing emphasis on simultaneity preservation (2025) after foundational work on QoS-aware scheduling (2023). The research consistently targets 6G-enabling technologies through novel approaches to time-varying channel management and spatial multiplexing. Scientific Recognition: No formal awards or fellowships documented in current records Collaborative Framework: Active collaborations with Popovski, Soret, and Abrao indicate integration within Aalborg University's wireless research ecosystem. No student advisement or grant management details are publicly available. Research Infrastructure: Works within the Connectivity section's experimental framework for wireless temporal coherence testing, leveraging university resources for RIS prototyping and channel emulation.
