Kyi Thar on an exchange to NTU in Singapore − to Advance AI for 6G Networks
Kyi Thar, at Mid Sweden University, has embarked on a research exchange at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. The collaboration, made possible through a VINNOVA-funded staff exchange program, aims to develop cutting-edge AI-driven solutions for 6G networks and industrial applications.
A Mission to Build Trustworthy AI for 6G Networks
The primary goal of Kyi Thar’s visit is to collaborate with Professor Dusit Niyato and his research team at NTU on trustworthy AI for 6G networks in smart industry applications.
- Their research focuses on developing secure, transparent, and reliable AI solutions for industrial automation. Additionally, the team is exploring the integration of Mobile Generative AI (GenAI) to enhance real-time decision-making, dynamic content generation and optimization within 6G networks, says Kyi Thar.
Who is Professor Dusit Niyato?
Professor Dusit Niyato is a President’s Chair Professor at NTU, a globally recognized researcher in edge intelligence, quantum computing, and network optimization. Dusit has been recognized as a Highly Cited Researcher (HCR) in Computer Science from 2017 to 2023. Currently, Dusit is serving as Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering (TNSE). He is also an area editor of IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials, IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology (TVT), topical editor of IEEE Internet of Things Journal (IoTJ), lead series editor of IEEE Communications Magazine. He is a Fellow of IEEE and a Fellow of IET.
His recent research explores cutting-edge applications of Mobile GenAI and Large Language Models (LLMs) for network optimization, communication security, digital twins, GenAI for Semantic Communications and GenAI for space-air-ground integrated networks (SAGIN). By combining NTU’s expertise in these areas with Mid Sweden University’s strength in Industrial IoT and distributed systems, we aim to develop next-generation AI-driven solutions for 6G networks and industrial applications, tells Kyi Thar.
Aims for a long-term collaboration
This research visit was made possible through the VINNOVA-funded staff exchange program, which supports international research collaborations in emerging technologies.
- This exchange represents a long-term strategic collaboration between Sweden and Singapore in trustworthy AI, 6G networks, and industrial IoT. By integrating GenAI, LLMs, and federated learning into industrial AI systems, we are paving the way for more secure, efficient, and scalable AI-driven industrial applications, says Kyi Thar.
- The experience has been highly enriching, both academically and professionally. NTU’s research culture is deeply innovative, with a strong focus on real-world AI applications in network optimization and security. Working with Professor Niyato and his team has provided me with valuable insights into AI for communication networks, federated learning, and GenAI, says Kyi Thar.
Kyi Thar’s advice for research exchange
Kyi thar has five tips for young researchers who are interested in undertaking an exchange:
