Barış Nakiboğlu

I am a graduate student at EECS department of MIT. I am working at RLE in Claude E. Shannon Communications and Networking Group on Information Theory, with my advisors Lizhong Zheng and Robert G. Gallager. (my CV)

Research Interest

Focus of my research is Information Theory and Communications. In particular I have done research on Variable-length codes, error-and-erasure decoding, unequal error protection and feedback encoding schemes. Currently my main interest is in characterizing and analyzing of operational performance criterion's motivated by contemporary systems/applications. At a less ambitious level i am also interested in large deviations, network science and machine learning.

Publications/Writings

Master Thesis

My master thesis was Variable Block Length Coding for Channels with Feedback and Cost Constraints. A more detailed manuscript on the subject can be found here.
