Ph.D. thesis explores differentiable ray tracing for radio propagation modeling

A Ph.D. thesis has been published on Differentiable Ray Tracing for Radio Propagation Modeling, aiming to serve as an accessible textbook. The research integrates automatic differentiation with ray tracing to compute exact gradients through physical environments, enabling inverse problem-solving and direct training of machine learning models for next-generation wireless design. The work emphasizes reproducible open-source software and builds upon existing JAX packages. AI

IMPACT This research could enable more accurate and efficient training of ML models for wireless communication systems by integrating physical simulation with automatic differentiation.
