Nazyar from Iran

What year did you graduate?

"I graduated in August 2023."

What is your current job and where is it located?

" I am currently working as an RF System Architect at Nokia Solutions and Networks in Ulm, Germany."

How did you find your job and how long did it take?

"I applied for the position through the company’s website and I received my job offer before finishing my studies, and after defending my thesis, I started working."

Favorite thing about your job?

"As an RF system Architect, I enjoy working on the latest wireless communication technologies that shape the future of connectivity. I also love collaborating with diverse teams from all around the world."

How are you contributing to change the industry or the world?

"We are developing more energy-efficient RF systems, contributing to greener and more sustainable communication networks, which is crucial in the fight against climate change. Moreover, we are enabling the deployment of 5G networks that will power everything from smart cities to autonomous vehicles, changing the way the world communicates and operates."

What was especially useful about the programme that you use in your everyday work?

"Working in teams on complex projects during my Master’s programme taught me how to translate theoretical knowledge into real-world RF system design and develop my problem-solving, teamwork, and collaboration skills. The courses of the programme also exposed me to the latest technologies, like 5G which is now a crucial part of my daily work."

What do you miss most from your time at �۶���Ƶ? What were the highlights of your time at Lund?

"All the moments I had at LTH (The Faculty of Engineering) are special to me. The welcoming community at �۶���Ƶ made my time unforgettable. In my case, as a mother and student, the support from university staff, professors, and other classmates was incredibly valuable. I truly felt valued and respected, which meant so much to me. All the memories will always have a special place in my heart."

How international was your programme?

"We were a group of students from different countries such as Iran, India, South Korea, China, and Spain. At �۶���Ƶ, students from various nationalities come together, sharing their unique culture and experience."

What was the focus of your thesis?

"My thesis with the topic of “Simulation and test of an MU-MIMO beamforming system” mostly concentrates on the evaluation and validation of the system for beam-forming tests. In this thesis work, a method for beamforming tests based on channel reciprocity in MU-MIMO is studied. A beamforming setup in the laboratory using a Butler matrix to form beams is used before the base station is deployed in real-world scenarios. Based on the Sounding Reference Signal (SRS), which is received from users, the base station estimates the channel for each user separately and applies the appropriate weight matrix to determine beams toward the users."

Why do you think prospective students should choose this programme?

"The Master's in Wireless Communications is an excellent choice for students who are looking to build successful careers in a rapidly growing industry. The programme is taught by expert professors who are leaders in their field, ensuring that students gain deep knowledge. As a student, you will also be able to complete your Master’s thesis in collaboration with top companies."

Do you have any advice for prospective students coming to Lund?

"Lund and �۶���Ƶ is a home for students from all around the world. Be sure to get involved in student life by joining the 'nations' (social clubs) and taking advantage of the facilities provided. Lund is an incredibly beautiful city so make sure to explore it. If I had the chance to choose a university again, I would choose �۶���Ƶ without hesitation, time and time again."
