Wireless Communication and Sensing

One of the interesting aspects of the program for me was the existence of a strong link between the university and the industry. After learning the fundamentals in the first-year courses, I was glad to find out there were many different possibilities to do an internship in a company. Therefore, in the second year I started working on my thesis project within a company and put the knowledge and the skills that I had learned in the first-year into practice to tackle real engineering problems. After finishing my master studies, I had the opportunity to start my PhD research in the Circuits and Systems group at TU Delft where I am working on the computational aspects of the next generation radio telescopes now.

You can choose to be specific in a certain field or you can opt to be diverse. The academic staff are very approachable and quick in responding to any of the queries you could have.

The courses on Performance analysis of Complex Networks and Telecom Architecture and Business Models relate to real-world scenarios and I found them interesting. Prospective students need to bear in mind that the courses are one of a kind but challenging as well. Regular study is the key to doing well academically.

Delft has been great so far. The college campus is amazing. However, the weather will take some time getting used to. But you will learn to appreciate the sun.

Once I complete my master's, I am hoping to find work in the field of Networking or in one of the telecom companies and apply the things that I have learned so far.

The courses are pretty challenging, require effort and deep understanding of the concepts. Many courses available have projects which provide a perfect balance of theory as well as practical aspects that allow you to apply what you have learned thereby augmenting your knowledge.

Another aspect of the studies here at TU Delft is that one needs to work regularly in order to ace a particular course as there are assignments and homework which keep you updated throughout the period which in turn is helpful on the evaluation day.

Apart from studies the campus is really lively with events happening almost every week. Career fairs, workshops, conferences etc. are a normal sight here. I have had a chance to attend a few workshops organised by TU Delft Career centre like CV check and Effective use of LinkedIn for job/internship search were really good. Also, Yes!Delft is definitely much more than I could describe it here. I am glad that I made a decision to pursue a masters from here.

for tracking ships and aircraft.

We closely work with the radar group that has a focus on distributed radar systems using small sensor nodes, and using THz technology for security scanners.

The department has excellent research facilities like a radar station on the roof, a laboratory for large network simulation, and a design lab for wireless communication. Here we recently built and tested a multi-antenna setup for separating overlapping ship transponder signals.

About half our students do their thesis work with companies such as NXP, Philips, IMEC Holst Centre, Thales, KPN, as well as a range of small-size companies. The best students often have an opportunity to stay with us to do a PhD.
