Professor Pyae Sone Aung's research lab specializes in next-generation wireless communication systems, with a focus on integrating emerging technologies such as Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS), especially Simultaneously Transmitting and Reflecting RIS (STAR-RIS), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) to enhance spectral efficiency, energy efficiency, and coverage in 5G, 6G, and beyond networks. The lab investigates intelligent radio resource management, including joint optimization of phase shifts, user association, power allocation, and RIS deployment strategies in challenging propagation environments. Additionally, the lab contributes to geospatial and geodetic research through the analysis of GPS data along tectonically active zones, such as the Sagaing Fault in Myanmar, demonstrating interdisciplinary applications of signal processing and data analysis.

The Sagaing Fault is a major tectonic structure between the Indian Plate and Sunda Plate. The fault measures 1200 km along north–south and cuts through the centre of Myanmar. Many urban areas lie along the fault. As a result, Myanmar has established a continuous Global Positioning System (cGPS) network across the Sagaing Fault since 2011. The cGPS network consists of eight cGPS stations that form two transects across the fault. The data analysis covers a period of four years from 2011 to 2014. G
