Nov 27, 2023	I have been appointed as a Distinguished Lecturer for 2024-2025 by the IEEE Information Theory Society. I’m happy to visit to give a talk!
Nov 22, 2023	I received the Outstanding Engineering Professor Award from the Rutgers School of Engineering!
Sep 22, 2023	Some recent activity: Critical AI and Design Justice: An Interview with Sasha Costanza-Chock, to appear in Critical AI. This is the transcript of a panel interview with Sasha Costanza-Chock, author of Design Justice. Zhichao Wang, Andrew Engel, Anand Sarwate, Ioana Dumitriu, Tony Chiang, Spectral Evolution and Invariance in Linear-width Neural Networks, accepted to NeurIPS 2023.
Jun 20, 2023	A few new papers to appear: D. Martin et al. “Enhancing Collaborative Neuroimaging Research: Introducing COINSTAC Vaults for Federated Analysis and Reproducibility”, to Frontiers in Neuroinformatics. Z. Wang et al., “Spectral Evolution and Invariance in Linear-width Neural Networks”, to the ICML 2023 High-dimensional Learning Dynamics Workshop. D. Saha et al, “Federated, Fast, and Private Visualization of Decentralized Data”, to the ICML 2023 Workshop on Federated Learning and Analytics in Practice: Algorithms, Systems, Applications, and Opportunities.
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.
May 19, 2023	Finally mostly ported everything over to the new site…
Jul 26, 2022	Some new work: Taki, Sarwate, Bajwa, “Structured Low-Rank Tensors for Generalized Linear Models”, accepted to Transactions on Machine Learning Research (TMLR).
