I chose KAUST because there are a lot of qualified and inspiring people living and working here.
I believe that my academic program is very relevant in our time of rapid technological development.

Nadezhda Briantceva is a PhD Candidate who works under the supervision of Prof. Mohamed-Slim Alouini and Prof. Matteo Parsani. Her academic journey began at Saint Petersburg State University (SPbSU) in Russia, where she majored in Applied Mathematics and Control Processes. There, she worked on a B.S. project with a collaboration of an IT company in Saint Petersburg, focusing on autonomous vehicles, which marked the start of her interdisciplinary career. At KAUST, she defended her Master's thesis on Molecular Communication (MC) in 2021, where she became interested in combining applied mathematics with health sciences. She actively participated in the ACM NanoCom Conferences and the Workshops on MC during her PhD studies. Recently, she stayed as a Visiting PhD student under the guidance of Prof. Adam Noel at the Biophysical Communication Engineering Lab at Warwick University. Her PhD research investigates the communication performance of various models of anomalous-based MolCom channels, which are affected by the channel flow, evanescence process, and channel components' mobility.

Research Interest

Nadezhda is focusing in the area of multi-agent systems, as well as mathematical modelling and optimization.
