Reinhard Wiesmayr receives NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship
Reinhard Wiesmayr, doctoral student in the Integrated Information Processing (IIP) Group of Prof. Christoph Studer, received a prestigious NVIDIA Graduate Fellowship for his research towards intelligent and adaptive 5G and 6G wireless systems that build on machine learning.
Selected from a highly competitive applicant pool, Reinhard Wiesmayr will participate in a summer internship preceding the fellowship year. “Our fellowship recipients are among the most talented graduate students in the world,” said NVIDIA Chief Scientist Bill Dally.

Vital to Reinhard Wiesmayr's work is a new platform, a 5G virtual radio access network (vRAN) system, which is based on the based on the external pageNVIDIA® Aerial Research Cloud platform.
The platform is 5G standards-compliant and fully software-defined, which enables rapid prototyping and over-the-air validation of novel baseband algorithms. While wireless communications research typically relies on system simulations, only experiments with a real-world 5G network can confirm the true viability and efficacy of machine learning-assisted baseband algorithms for future 6G wireless systems.

Congratulations!
For more than two decades, the external pageNVIDIA Graduate Fellowship Program has supported graduate students doing outstanding work relevant to NVIDIA technologies. Last week, the programme announced the latest awards of up to $60,000 each to 10 Ph.D. students involved in research that spans all areas of computing innovation.
