What Nawanit says about the Master's in Wireless Communications

Nawanit from India

What year did you graduate?

"I graduated in 2020."

What is your current job and where is it located?

"I currently work as a Radio Frequency and Mixed Signal ASIC Developer, Ericsson AB, Lund."

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

"I was an intern at Ericsson, Lund, and did my Master’s thesis here. Then I landed a job here after graduation."

What is your favourite thing about your job?

"I get to work with amazing instruments in the lab and get to implement what I studied during the programme."

How are you changing the industry or the world (in a large or small way)?

"I am a part of making antennas that will be used in coming years for 5G and 6G applications."

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

"I found the two parallel tracks in the programme very useful – one to increase capacity with current antennas and the other to work on antennas. I use a mix of both in my daily work."

What do you miss most from your time at Lund University/LTH? What were the highlights of your time at Lund?

"I miss my classes, professors, classmates, and even the thrill of writing exams and waiting for the results."

What was the focus of your thesis?

"The focus of my thesis was to increase the capacity of existing radio antenna by Ericsson."

Why do you think prospective students should choose the Wireless Communication programme?

"I think you should choose this programme if you are into Wireless communications specifically. A lot of other universities offer communications programmes, but at Lund, there is a specific focus on the wireless aspects. This programme is also great for someone who wants to collaborate in an international environment and wants to learn state-of-the-art technology!

The city, LTH (the Faculty of Engineering) and the courses, along with teachers, make a great combo. The knowledge you gain is relevant as you learn what is actually being implemented in the industry."

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

"If you get selected, keep in mind that it is just the first step. You need to continuously study and work hard to meet the deadlines of projects and exams. But that is where you learn the most. And lastly, remember, it is the journey that is important – not only the end goal!"
