Alon Levin Received Best Presentation Award in ACM MobiSys Rising Stars Forum
PhD student Alon S. Levin has been selected for the 2026 ACM MobiSys Rising Stars Forum, a selective venue for early-career researchers in mobile computing, applications and services. His presentation in the Forum won the Best Presentation Award.
The forum, held in conjunction with ACM MobiSys 2026 from June 21 to 25 in Cambridge, U.K., is designed for PhD students and early-stage postdoctoral researchers to present ongoing work, receive feedback from senior researchers and build networks across the mobile systems research community. Selected extended abstracts will be included in the conference proceedings and the ACM Digital Library.
Levin, a fifth-year PhD student in Professor Gil Zussman’s Wireless and Mobile Networking Lab, presented “Enabling Practical Full-Duplex Wireless: From Circuits to Software” during the forum’s Wireless Communication and Networking session.
Alon’s research focuses on next-generation wireless communications, particularly adaptive full-duplex wireless systems that can transmit and receive simultaneously on the same frequency. These systems aim to increase network capacity and spectral efficiency while responding to changing real-world environments.
As part of his doctoral work, Levin has contributed to the development of the third generation of full-duplex transceivers within the FlexICoN project, enabling wideband operation with environment-aware adaptive analog cancellation. He was also supported by the National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship from 2022 to 2025 and recently received the Fulbright fellowship. He has also received the Byron Fellowship from Columbia Engineering and the Jacob Millman Award for Outstanding Teaching Assistants, and won First Place in the ACM SIGCOMM’23 Student Research Competition (SRC).
