Abid Afridi

I received my B.E. degree in Electrical Engineering (Telecommunication) from the University of Science and Technology Bannu, Pakistan, in 2020, and my M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Ulsan, South Korea. During my master’s studies, I was awarded the prestigious Brain Korea 21+ (BK21+) Scholarship. From 2022 to 2025, I worked as a research assistant with the Department of Electrical, Electronic, and Computer Engineering at the University of Ulsan.

Currently, I am a Marie Curie Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Information and Communications Engineering at Aalto University, Finland.

My research interests include Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN), Free Space Optical Communication (FSO), Network Slicing, and AI-based Resource Allocation.
