Md Ashikul Haque

Md Ashikul Haque is a PhD candidate in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Dallas, advised by Prof. Abusayeed Saifullah. He received a Master’s degree in Computer Science from Wayne State University in 2024. His research interests include LPWAN and wireless IoT systems, resilient and secure communication, MAC and scheduling, and AI-assisted coexistence management. His work has been published in top conferences, including ACM/IEEE SenSys, IEEE INFOCOM, IEEE RTSS, ACM MobiHoc, ACM/IEEE IoTDI, and ACM EWSN.

Ashikul’s research develops systems, protocols, and AI-assisted methods for LPWAN and wireless IoT networks. His work focuses on resilient and adaptive communication under interference, coexistence, and jamming, including LoRa anti-jamming defenses, learning-based coexistence management, cross-technology communication from LR-FHSS to LoRa, and MAC and scheduling mechanisms for bursty, reliable, and time-sensitive traffic in IoT and cyber-physical settings. He evaluates these systems through PyTorch-based learning, NS-3 simulation, SDR prototyping with GNU Radio and USRP, and outdoor or testbed experiments.
