This PhD will work on foundation models (FM) for time-series data with applications in 6G data. Despite the considerable impact of Large Language Models (LLMs) on various products and services, the exploration of FMs for time-series is still in its early stages.

Developing innovative FM architectures and novel fine-tuning strategies is essential to ensure the effective domain adaptation of FMs when applied to time-series data. This study aims to address research challenges in this area, aiming to provide practical solutions for real-world problems in 6G use-cases.
