Design and Performance Evaluation of Chaos-Based Communication Systems under Noise and Multipath Conditions

Darja Čirjuļina was born in 1999 in Riga, Latvia. She received an Academic Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (2020) and a Professional Master’s degree in Electronics and the qualification of Lead Electronics Engineer (2022) from Riga Technical University (RTU). Since 1 March 2019, she has been working at RTU, initially as a Research Assistant and since September 2022, as a Researcher at the Institute of Photonics, Electronics and Telecommunications, where she participates in research projects and teaches students. During her doctoral studies, she has participated in several international mobilities and professional visits, including KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden), Infineon Technologies Austria, Cracow University of Technology (Poland), Keysight Technologies GmbH (Germany), Politecnico di Torino (Italy), and Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece). Her scientific and academic achievements during doctoral studies have been recognised with several awards, including the IEEE Student and Young Professional travel grant (2025) and the Best Student Presentation Award at the Days of Applied Nonlinearity and Complexity (DANOC’24) conference. Her research interests focus on chaos-based data transmission systems for IoT applications. During her doctoral studies, she has also expanded her research activities in photonics, particularly high-speed IM/DD transmission systems, enabling her to participate in major international conferences such as OFC, ECOC, and IPC.
