Karel Pärlin has been awarded the 1st prize in the technology sector of the Estonian Research Council's annual student research competition for his doctoral thesis, "Interference suppression improves security of wireless cyber-physical systems".

In his doctoral thesis Pärlin studies specifically remotely controlled drones, satellite navigation systems, and sensor networks. He provides insight into how security and reliability impact the safety of wireless cyber-physical systems. Pärlin also develops means to improve the security and reliability of those systems through both intentional interference transmission and its suppression. The developed solutions can be relevant to many applications that rely on wireless connectivity.

Pärlin's research focuses on enhancing the security of wireless cyber-physical systems by mitigating interference, a critical issue for ensuring reliable and secure communication in modern wireless networks. The award highlights the innovative and impactful nature of his work in the field of wireless technology and cyber-physical systems.

The annual competition organized by the Estonian Research Council recognizes outstanding student research across various fields, promoting academic excellence and innovation.
