Hello! My name is Aditya Sathish and I am a Senior Engineer at Qualcomm’s IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi AP software team where I work on the design and architecture for Qualcomm’s Wi-Fi access point (AP) system software.

My research and development interests are in: wireless communications, Wi-Fi, 3GPP 5G/6G, non-terrestrial networks, AI/ML in wireless, spectrum sharing, coexistence, hardware prototyping and experimentation.
