Mr. Saheed Ullah with ARA Director, Dr. Hongwei Zhang

WiSE PhD student Mr. Saheed Ullah received a travel grant to attend ARAFest’24, a wireless technology workshop held on August 24-27, at Iowa State University.

ARA (Agriculture and RuRAl Communities) is the NSF-funded wireless technology Living Lab focusing on precision agriculture. Saheed gained valuable insights on how his research in distributed beamforming at mmWave can benefit wireless infrastructure for smart agriculture use cases, through live exchange with fellow wireless researchers and hands-on experimentations.
