Research

Signal processing, machine learning, sparsity and compressive sensing, wireless communications, sensor networks, and radar systems.

General Information

I am looking for new PhD students with strong analytical skills to join my group in the following areas:

(1) RF sensing and radar signal processing;
(2) federated learning, decentralized optimization, signal processing on graphs;
(3) signal processing for wireless communications.

Email me ([email protected]) with your CV and undergraduate/graduate transcripts (copies) if interested. Please note that due to the high volume of emails I receive, I will follow up only if there is a good alignment with our research interests.

Additionally, there are immediate job openings available for postdoctoral positions in the above research areas. Ideal candidates should have a strong publication record, particularly as the primary author, in related fields. I will continue accepting applications until these positions are filled.
