About

Inna Kurbatska is a researcher advancing the frontiers of next-generation communication networks, with a focus on the seamless integration of 5G, passive optical networks (PON), and visible light communication (VLC) technologies. Her work addresses the critical challenge of achieving ubiquitous, high-speed connectivity for emerging autonomous and cooperative systems, including self-driving vehicles and collaborative robotics. Her most-cited paper, "The Integration of 5G, PON and VLC Technologies for Ubiquitous Connectivity in Autonomous and Cooperative Systems" (2019), has garnered 13 citations and lays a foundational framework for converging optical fiber infrastructure with wireless and light-based communications in ultra-dense urban environments. This research is pivotal for enabling low-latency, reliable links essential for autonomous decision-making and real-time coordination. Kurbatska’s contributions are particularly notable for their forward-looking approach to network architecture, bridging the gap between existing fiber backhaul and the demanding requirements of 5G and beyond. Her work continues to influence the design of smart city infrastructures, positioning her as a key voice in the evolution of integrated, high-performance communication systems.
