Simran Singh

Simran Singh is a Research Fellow at the Department of Forest Biomaterials within the College of Natural Resources at North Carolina State University. Their research focuses on advancing wireless communication technologies for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including secure 5G networks, mmWave-based drone corridors, and video streaming optimization for aerial navigation. Key areas of expertise include interference management in heterogeneous networks (HetNets), real-time video adaptation for collision avoidance, and spectrum reuse strategies for urban environments.

Research interests include the integration of artificial intelligence with telecommunication systems, particularly in enhancing the reliability and security of UAV operations. Recent work addresses challenges such as minimizing ground risk in cellular-connected drone systems, optimizing FeICIC (Flexible ICIC) for public safety networks, and extending MUD (Manufacturer Usage Description) protocols for IoT security.

Publications highlight contributions to federated learning for resource-constrained aerial vehicles, neural-enhanced video streaming frameworks (BONES), and interactive teleconferencing systems leveraging scene graph analysis. These advancements aim to improve the efficiency and safety of UAV applications in both civilian and public safety contexts.
