Openings

We will have multiple PhD openings for Fall 2025 working in the general area of machine learning; cloud/edge computing; wireless communications, networking and sensing; information theory and coding. If you are interested, please send me an e-mail with your current CV or drop by my office. I will be happy to discuss. Please check samples of our research talks on our YouTube channel.
