About Maurilio Matracia Maurilio Matracia Ph.D., Electrical and Computer Engineering Stochastic Geometry global connectivity post-disaster communications UAV communications Maurilio Matracia is a doctoral student under Dr. Mustafa Kishk’s and Prof. Mohamed-Slim Alouini’s supervisions at the Communication Theory Lab (CTL) in King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). Education and Early Career Maurilio studied at the University of Palermo (Italy), where he received both a B.S. and a M.S. degrees in Energy Engineering (2017) and Electrical Engineering (2019), respectively. His bachelor thesis involved evolutionary algorithms in order to study the influence of the soil non-homogeneity on the design of grounding systems. His master thesis based on Articles Related News January 2024 KAUST CTL researchers introduce a new interference-mitigation strategy for enhanced reliability in post-disaster networks 1 min read · Sat, Jan 20 2024 News A team of KAUST researchers, M. Matracia, M. Kishk, and M. -S. Alouini, have unveiled a pioneering interference-mitigation strategy aimed at bolstering reliability in post-disaster networks. Their collaborative work, titled "Reliability in post-disaster networks: A novel interference-mitigation strategy," promises to revolutionize the field and significantly improve communication systems in the aftermath of calamities. In the face of natural disasters and other catastrophic events, maintaining robust and dependable communication networks is paramount. The novel interference-mitigation strategy January 2022 KAUST CTL team wins competition at 6G Summit on Connecting the Unconnected 1 min read · Mon, Jan 10 2022 News The Marconi Society organized the second 6G Summit on Connected the Unconnected in partnership with KAUST. The summit was a three-day virtual event that brought together experts from technology and policy-making to discuss ideas that can accelerate the process of connecting the unconnected population to the internet. A competition was part of this summit and was open to students and early career researchers from all over the world who proposed novel solutions for digital inclusion. A team of four students from Communication Theory Lab (CTL) consisting of Aniq Ur Rahman, Fares Fourati, Maurilo December 2021 A novel perspective on UAV-aided post-disaster cellular networks 1 min read · Wed, Dec 1 2021 News In the context of sixth-generation (6G) networks, emergency management systems based on wireless communications are gaining interest. In an incoming magazine paper, CTL researchers discussed fundamentals and open problems of post-disaster communications with a special focus on the topological aspects. This is because, whenever a disaster strikes, there is a high chance that the telecom infrastructure is compromised, and therefore alternative networks need to be deployed efficiently to enable communications between victims and first responders. Finally, by means of selected simulation results October 2021 Progressive KAUST communications study awarded at the IEEE SusTech 2021 student poster contest 1 min read · Wed, Oct 13 2021 News The progressive telecommunications research of KAUST Ph.D. candidate Maurilio Matracia, supervised by postdoctoral fellow Mustafa Kishk and Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Mohamed-Slim Alouini, has been recently awarded the second-place prize at the IEEE SusTech 2021 student poster contest. June 2021 Deploying UAVs to support rural networks 1 min read · Mon, Jun 21 2021 News Unmanned aerial vehicles UAVs enabled wireless networks Although ubiquitous connectivity is one of the main goals for 5G and beyond networks, the low expected profit prevents telecommunication providers from investing in sparsely populated areas. Hence, cost efficient alternatives such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV)-mounted base stations are required for extending the cellular infrastructure to these regions. In this work, a new stochastic geometry-based model has been implemented to show the coverage spatial variation among urban, suburban, and exurban settlements. Based on this, the numerical results have quantified the improvements that even
