Vahid Jamali

Prof. Vahid Jamali is an Assistant Professor and Head of the Resilient Communication Systems Group at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany. His research focuses on resilient communications, 6G wireless systems, bio-inspired molecular communication, and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS). He holds a Doctoral Degree from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), Germany, and has served as a postdoctoral researcher at Princeton University and FAU.

Education

• PhD in Communication Systems, FAU (2019)
• Visiting Researcher at Stanford University (2017)
• Research Assistant at FAU's Institute for Digital Communications (2013-2019)

Research Interests

• Resilient Networks: Emergency networks, RIS-based systems, and resilience-by-design architectures.
• Wireless Innovations: 6G technologies, holographic MIMO, and joint communication-sensing systems.
• Bio-inspired Systems: Molecular communication modeling using biological principles like diffusion and chemical reactions.

Recent Work Trends

His 2024-2025 publications emphasize RIS optimization (e.g., temperature-aware phase shifts, fast beam switching) and molecular communication (e.g., Poisson channel identification, bio-inspired receiver designs). Emerging themes include AoI-based RIS reconfiguration and integrated sensing-communication-powering (ISCAP) for IoT.

Lab Activities

He leads the Resilient Communication Systems Group, exploring cutting-edge RIS hardware (e.g., liquid crystal implementations) and theoretical foundations for future wireless systems.
