Bio

Kamran Shisher is an incoming tenure track assistant professor in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Colorado Colorado Springs. He received his PhD in Electrical Engineering from Auburn University at Auburn, Alabama under the supervision of Prof. Yin Sun.

After his PhD, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering in Purdue University, hosted by Prof. Mung Chiang and Prof. Christopher G. Brinton.

He received the IEEE Communications Society William R. Bennett prize (2025) for the paper "Timely Communications for Remote Inference" published in IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking. His research addresses the fundamental research problems at the intersection of wireless communication networks, information theory, optimization/control, and machine learning. Current research interests include, but are not limited to Goal-oriented semantic communication and networks, AI for Networks and Networks for AI, Mobile computing, edge/fog computing, and distributed computing over networks, Networked machine learning, e.g., federated/decentralized learning.
