Announcement

Prof. Daniela Tuninetti from UIC, Prof. Hua Sun from UNT and myself will deliver a tutorial titled “Secure Private Cache-aided Distributed Function Retrieval” on June 9th, 2024, at the 2024 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC).

Openings

We have at least 2 PhD openings for Fall 2024 working in the general area of cloud/edge computing; machine learning; 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.

Short Bio and Research Interests

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Utah. I received my PhD in 2015 at Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical Engineering, Viterbi School of Engineering, University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles, USA. I received my MS degrees in Electrical Engineering (focusing on wireless networks) from University of California, Santa Cruz and in Electrical Engineering (focusing on information and signal processing) at Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden, and obtained my Bachelor Degree in Communication Engineering at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT), Beijing, China. Previously, I was a Staff II System Design Scientist at Broadcom Limited, San Diego.

Prof. Daniela Tuninetti from UIC, Prof. Hua Sun from UNT and myself delivered the tutorial on “Distributed Function Retrieval: a Storage and Privacy Perspective” at 2021 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT 2021) held (virtually) in Melbourne Australia in July 2021. The tutorial was scheduled for July 16th 2021, MDT. The slides can be found here.

My research interests lie in the fascinating intersection of distributed computing and storage, communication, machine learning and information theory.

I am the director of Computing, Communication and Caching (C^3) Lab.
