About
Sundeep Rangan is a leading researcher at the forefront of next-generation wireless communications, with expertise spanning millimeter wave (mmWave) technology, 5G/6G networks, and the intersection of wireless systems with robotics and artificial intelligence. His highly cited work on 6G networks — garnering over 2,000 citations — has helped define the trajectory of future mobile communications, articulating the use cases and enabling technologies that will power an increasingly connected, intelligent digital world. Rangan has made substantial contributions to mmWave communications, editing foundational special issues on the topic and exploring its application in demanding environments such as public safety communications, where reliability, low latency, and support for diverse communication modes are critical. A distinctive thread in his recent research is the integration of wireless signals with autonomous systems: his work on mmWave-assisted robot navigation, physics-informed reinforcement learning for indoor navigation, and 5G-enabled whole-body robot control pushes wireless technology beyond connectivity into embodied intelligence. Most recently, Rangan has extended his reach into accessibility technology, contributing to multimodal AI tools designed to assist people with blindness and low vision. His body of work reflects a consistent vision of wireless technology as a transformative infrastructure for an autonomous, inclusive future.
