Research Interests

  1. Information Theory: ultimate performance limits of multi-terminal networks.
    — Cache-aided networks.
    — Distributed Coded Computing and Coded Data Shuffling.
    — Index Coding: Pliable, Decentralized and Secure.
    — Wireless interactive (cooperative, or cognitive or with feedback) interference networks.
    — Asynchronous massive access and sensor/IoT systems.
  2. Communication Theory: co-design of digital communication systems and sensing radar systems, and 5G systems.
    — Low-latency high-reliability communications.
    — Coexistence of communication and radar systems.
  3. Biomedical AI: design of on-demand / adaptive / closed-loop feedback-controlled Deep Brain Stimulator (DBS) for patients with pathological tremor (i.e., Parkinson’s Disease and Essential Tremor). Potential application to epilepsy, depression, chronic pain, etc.
