LITES Lab

Information Theory, Reliable Computation, and Learning Systems

I am Viveck R. Cadambe, Associate Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech, and director of the LITES lab. I work in information theory and coding theory, focusing on reliable and trustworthy communication, computation, storage, and learning. My recent work is motivated by modern AI and machine learning, especially distributed and decentralized learning, privacy-preserving computation, and systems that must be dependable and efficient under faults, uncertainty, and limited trust.

The LITES Lab studies large-scale computation, storage, communication, and learning systems using ideas from information theory, coding theory, optimization, and distributed algorithms. A central theme of the group is how to build efficient systems that remain reliable under faults, adversaries, heterogeneity, and privacy constraints, with emphasis on problems arising in modern AI and machine learning infrastructure. Current interests include:

privacy-preserving learning, inference, and data systems
reliable and verifiable computation in trust-minimized, adversary-resilient distributed systems.
fault-tolerance, consistency, and communication efficiency in large-scale data storage/computing systems

Prospective Students

I am interested in working with students who are mathematically strong and excited about information theory, reliable computation, privacy, distributed algorithms, storage, and machine learning systems. Students with strong systems-building ability are also encouraged to reach out, especially if they are interested in bridging theory and implementation.

If you are considering applying to Georgia Tech and believe your interests align well with the group, please apply through the standard program and indicate your interest in working with me.

You are welcome to contact me (Prof. Cadambe) via email; however, due to the high volume of emails received, I may not be able to respond to all inquiries. I encourage you to apply to the graduate program at Georgia Tech and express interest in working with me.
