Research Areas and Interests
- Communications, Info Theory, Networking, Networked Systems
- Security in Computing and Communications
- Signal Processing, Machine Learning, and Optimization
My research focuses mainly on information theory, coding theory, statistical signal processing, inference and discrete probability. In particular, I am interested in computationally efficient methods to process information in applications such as communication networks, data acquisition and data privacy.
I obtained my Ph.D. degree from the EECS department at MIT, conducting research in the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems. I previously obtained B.S. and M.S. degrees in the mathematics department at EPFL.
Honors and Awards
