PhD and MASc Positions in Advanced Wireless Communications, Signal Processing, and Machine Learning

Professor Mohammed Saif, Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University), is seeking two highly motivated students—a local MASc (Master’s) student and a PhD student—to join his research group in the Department of Electrical, Computer & Biomedical Engineering, starting Fall 2026. The group’s research lies at the intersection of advanced wireless communications, signal processing, and machine learning, with current projects focusing on reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), moving antennas (MAs) for next-generation wireless networks, UAV-assisted and resilient wireless connectivity, and federated/distributed learning over wireless networks. Applicants should be passionate about advancing intelligence and resilient wireless networks. The group welcomes both funded and self-funded students. Application materials should include a resume, a 1-page motivation/interest letter, a list of publications (for PhD applicants), and transcripts, all compiled into a single PDF. The research environment offers opportunities to work on cutting-edge topics such as RIS, UAV-assisted connectivity, and distributed learning, making it ideal for students interested in wireless communications, signal processing, and machine learning.
