 My PhD focus on efficient IoT data communications, IoT or Internet of Things is a network of connected devices over the internet or other communications networks. These devices are normally resource limited and have a limited bandwidth, which further highlights the importance of having efficient communications. During PhD, I focused on three areas within IoT, including lossless data compression, recovery of damaged receive data and network coding. During my childhood, I lived in a small city far away from the capital. At night, when we were outside the city, we could see thousands of stars. Sometimes we could even see the Milky Way. At the time, I was fascinated with the beauty of the sky and I decided to go to the space when I grew up. And I started thinking that how can I achieve my dream? And it seemed to me that the only solution is by studying hard. After all these years, I still want to go to the space someday, but it's not my final dream anymore. Now, doing research, designing and developing these are all part of my identity and I cannot imagine my life without them. I think designing something new or doing research, these are like a mental adventure. In my field, first, we find the problem and then we look for a solution. And when I'm looking for a solution, it's like something that is always active on the background of my mind, even for example when I'm cooking. And when I find a solution and I try it out and it works out, it gives me great pleasure. I think the most interesting thing about being a researcher or a scientist is that you look into the future. Every day has something new and you don't repeat the yesterday. And at the same time, you are doing something that can help the humanity. I would like to continue working in my field to design and develop techniques and devices in the concept of IoT.
