Synopsis
My research interests lie in the fields of information theory and communication theory, particularly as applied to wireless communication channels. More specifically, I am interested in using information and communication theoretic tools to explore the fundamental limits of cellular networks, wireless local area networks, and sensor/ad-hoc networks, and develop an understanding of engineering trade-offs to facilitate design of such networks.
