IGOR KADOTA
I am a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at Columbia University working on emerging wireless networks. My research interests are:
- Theory: network modelling and optimization, scheduling algorithms with performance guarantees, machine learning, multi-armed bandits, mathematical optimization, and stochastic processes.
- Systems: design and implementation of ultra-low latency wireless networks, 5G networks, Internet-of-Things (IoT), Smart-Cities, full-duplex wireless, millimeter-wave systems, spectrum sharing, and Software Defined Radios (SDR).
advised by Prof. Eytan Modiano during the PhD at MIT LIDS.
