Hi, I'm Sayna Kiani 👋

Master's Student in Artificial Intelligence | Machine Learning for Networked Systems

I'm pursuing a Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence for Connected Industries at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Barcelona, Spain.

My research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning, wireless networks, and network measurement. I'm particularly interested in understanding how models behave when network conditions change and how the quality and timing of real-world measurements affect predictive performance.

🔬 Research & Publications

Accepted Paper — ACM CoNEXT 2026 Student Workshop

Before Learning from Cellular Traces: Auditing Throughput Semantics and Measurement Timing in a Public 5G/LTE Dataset

Accepted — ACM CoNEXT 2026 Student Workshop (CoNEXT-SW '26)

This paper investigates the consistency of throughput measurements in public 5G/LTE cellular traces. It examines the relationship between reported throughput and received-byte counts, identifies measurement discrepancies, and highlights the importance of validating data semantics before using network traces for machine learning.

Status: Accepted; publication forthcoming.
