Shilpa Talwar, Principal Engineer at Intel Corporation, California, USA
Shilpa Talwar leads a small research team focused on advanced network topologies for improving the capacity and service quality of cellular networks. Her research interests include heterogeneous networks, multi-radio interworking, device to device communications, and advanced MIMO and interference mitigation techniques. While at Intel, she has contributed to IEEE and 3GPP standard bodies, including an IEEE wide tutorial on Future Wireless Networks with support of many industry partners, which led to formation of multiple study groups in IEEE 802.16, and the 802.16p standard. She is currently coordinating an effort on 5G technologies with several leading universities and industry partners. Shilpa graduated from Stanford University in 1996 with a Ph.D. in Applied mathematics and an M.S. in electrical engineering. She is the author of 60+ technical publications and patents.
