  • Research
    I am interested in applying mathematical theory and tools to model, analyze, and allocate resources in distributed and interconnected systems with a special focus on communication systems and networks. Area that I am currently working on are:
    • Resource allocation problems in 5G networks
    • Sub-optimal scheduling in mutihop wireless networks
    • Adaptive quality caching in wireless networks
    • Joint motion and transmit power optimization for UAV
    • Framework for Information eXchange for Things (IXT)
    • Coupled multi-time scale processes
    • Exploiting social ties in opportunistic wireless networks
    • Designing fault-resilient networks
