Research

My general area of interest lies at the intersection of networked systems and control, with a focus on developing analytical frameworks, algorithms, and protocols for wireless communication networks. I work on network optimization for cross-layer (PHY+MAC) resource allocation, spectrum sharing mechanisms, techno-economic modeling, and system-level performance evaluation of mobile communication networks, in alignment with 3GPP and IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi) standards. My work draws on a range of analytical tools, including game theory, mechanism design, convex optimization, stochastic processes, queueing theory, and network economics, to address the challenges of modern wireless networked systems.

Currently, I am exploring integrated sensing and communication (ISAC), radio-based sensing and localization, and the development of robust protocols and algorithms for these multi-functional wireless networks.

ISAC in Wireless Systems
Network-level Optimization for ISAC Systems
