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).
I am very fortunate to be hosted by Prof. Gil Zussman at Columbia University, and to have been advised by Prof. Eytan Modiano during the PhD at MIT LIDS.
Best Paper Award Finalist at ACM MobiHoc 2019 for our paper entitled Minimizing the Age of Information in Wireless Networks with Stochastic Arrivals.
