 - **Associate Deakin Research Summer Scholarship**: During the 2023/2024 summer, I was awarded this scholarship, where I initially focused on **computer networks**. I soon shifted my research towards **Radio Access Networks (RAN)**, developing a strong interest in **O-RAN** and **6G resource allocation**. This experience provided a solid foundation in network planning and optimisation, which continues to guide my Honours and PhD research. I was also awarded this scholarship again for the 2024/2025 summer, where I continued my research into RAN and xhaul networks.

 ## My Academic Journey
 
 Throughout my studies, I've achieved several academic highlights, including features in the *Deakin Maths Yearbook* for my HD reports on Cryptography (SIT192) Quantum Cryptography (SIT281) and Optimisation and Constraint Programming (SIT316). My current research focuses on telecommunication networks, particularly the planning and optimisation of optical xhaul networks to support reconfigurable O-RAN in 6G networks. This work builds on my previous research during the Associate Deakin Research Summer Scholarship, where I initially explored computer networks and developed a strong interest in Radio Access Networks (RAN).
 
-I am now actively working on several papers, including one that has been accepted to the **Optical Fiber Communications Conference (OFC)**. I've finalised a survey paper on reconfigurable RAN for IEEE, which discusses network planning, resource allocation, and the challenges of implementing beyond 5G networks. In progress I'm also working on an extension of the work done in OFC as well as one focused on the operations research side of the problem.
