Guiding Doctoral Writing: (Writing) stories from the wireless 6G world.

This episode takes us on a thoughtful journey into mentoring, writing, and the future of ICT engineering communication. Together with Professor Nandana Rajatheva from the 6G Flagship research program at the University of Oulu, we explore the joys and challenges of guiding writing ICT engineers. We talk about writing for publication—moving from identifying solvable problems to solving them—and how novelty drives impactful research. We touch on the influence of internationalization and English as the scientific lingua franca, the importance of evaluating writing skills during recruitment, and why reading—both technical literature and fiction, for work and for fun—matters deeply for doctoral development. We also consider how cooperation between industry and academia shapes doctoral education. https://sites.google.com/view/profnandanarajatheva
