Background
  • Professor and Interim Department Head, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Illinois Chicago (UIC)
  • Research interests span Information Theory, Communication Theory, and Biomedical AI
  • Information Theory: ultimate performance limits of multi-terminal networks, cache-aided networks, distributed coded computing, pliable/decentralized/secure index coding, wireless interference networks, asynchronous massive access and IoT systems
  • Communication Theory: co-design of communication and radar systems, 5G systems, ultra-reliable low-latency communications, coexistence of communication and radar
  • Biomedical AI: developing on-demand/adaptive/closed-loop deep brain stimulators (DBS) for Parkinson’s Disease and Essential Tremor, with potential applications to epilepsy, depression, and chronic pain
