Mahdi Boloursaz Mashhadi is a researcher at Imperial College London's Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, affiliated with the Information Processing and Communications Lab. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology (2018), with prior research roles at the University of Central Florida and Queen's University. His expertise spans signal processing, wireless communications, machine learning applications in communication systems, and biomedical signal processing. Dr. Mashhadi's research focuses on massive MIMO channel state acquisition , deep learning-driven pilot design , and semantic communication frameworks . His recent work explores token-domain multiple access, generative AI integration in communication systems, and federated learning optimizations. He has contributed to foundational studies in sparse signal reconstruction (e.g., iterative adaptive thresholding methods) and wearable health monitoring via PPG signals. Key achievements : Best Paper Award at EWDTS 2012, multiple grants (IEEE, national/regional), and patents (e.g., US Patent 9729160). Current projects include semantic-aware power allocation in generative communications and latency optimizations in distributed deep learning frameworks. Labs/Teams : Member of the Intelligent Systems and Networks (ISN) group at Imperial, collaborating on AI-driven communication systems and edge computing solutions. His work bridges theoretical signal processing with practical implementations in 5G/6G networks, biomedical devices, and distributed machine learning ecosystems.
