As a researcher, I specialize in 3-D multi-UAV communication mobility patterns to address critical communication challenges. In collaboration with esteemed professors at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), I have developed a groundbreaking framework named 'Stable Cooperative Route Mobility' (SCRM) for 3D-Flying Ad-Hoc Network (FANET). My aim has been to enhance communication reliability and efficiency in dynamic UAV environments. My leadership has been essential in the conceptualization and development of the SCRM framework, which introduced novel strategies for stable and cooperative mobility patterns among multiple UAVs in three-dimensional space. I have conducted comprehensive evaluations of the SCRM framework's performance in real-world scenarios, with a specific focus on environmental monitoring applications. As a result, I have published three peer-reviewed articles, emphasizing the efficacy and applicability of the SCRM framework. Furthermore, I have pioneered the development of an energy management model leveraging graph theory principles and validated its effectiveness using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). This model aims to optimize energy consumption and extend the operational endurance of UAVs, contributing to sustainable and efficient UAV deployments. Currently, I am engaged in the design and refinement of a hybrid low-power MAC (Media Access Control) protocol tailored specifically for UAV communication systems. This ongoing endeavour aims to further optimize communication efficiency while minimizing energy consumption, thereby advancing the capabilities of UAV networks. My research endeavours in network design for multi-UAV communication underscore a commitment to innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and practical problem-solving. With a track record of impactful research contributions and ongoing efforts to push the boundaries of UAV technology, I am poised to continue driving advancements in aerial communication systems for diverse applications.
