I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.
I also am a member of the graduate faculty in the Department of Computer Science
and the Department of Statistics.
I like to work on problems that involve probability, mathematical statistics,
and optimization, with applications in information theory, communication,
signal processing, and machine learning. I’m particularly interested in
how these things intersect in the context of distributed/decentralized
systems with constraints like privacy, bandwidth, latency, power, and so on.
This page is still somewhat under construction. I anticipate that will be the state for quite a while.

May 28, 2023 | Just returned from a really fabulous workshop on Information-Theoretic Methods for Trustworthy Machine Learning at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing at UC Berkeley. It was weird to wander around a place I lived 20 years ago but really nice to see old friends and meet new people. |

Finally mostly ported everything over to the new site… ![]() |
Jul 1, 2022 | New grant! RINGS: REALTIME: Resilient Edge-cloud Autonomous Learning with Timely Inferences, co-PIs Roy D. Yates, Waheed U. Bajwa, and Dipankar Raychaudhuri. We will be looking at issues in adaptive edge-cloud assisted ML-based services from the ground-up. |
