Welcome to the website, which is a bit unorthodox as I like to keep things informal. As will become apparent that this is not just for academic purposes. Here you may find blogs about research, travels, and just about any random topics. I am integrating these functionalities so that it’s not like the 100-th Jekyll-alfolio website you’ve seen already.

I’m Ph.D in Electrical and Computer Engineering advised by Prof. Matthieu Bloch.

My research interests are broad, but 80% of them go nowhere. Currently, my researches are on Information Theory in context of wireless sensing and communication. My backgrounds are in communication theory and signal processing as applied to communication. I am interested in theoretical analysis of fundamental challenges in wireless communication in providing intuitions for practical systems.

Previously, I received my BS in Electrical Engineering with highest honors in 2022, also at Tech. My BS/MS advisor is Prof. Xiaoli Ma, and my thesis titled “Performance Analysis and Algorithm Design for Chirp-based Multicarrier Systems,” which involves the use of non-linear transform basis in multicarrier systems and its related algorithms and performance characterizations.

Specifically, my researches (past and present) include:

• Digital Signal Processing (As applied for communication): Lattice reduction (lattice theory), estimation and detection theory, super-resolution methods.
• Communication Theory: Algorithm design and performance characterization for multicarrier systems (DAFT,OCDM,OFDM): e.g., Diversity and coding gain analysis, CFO estimation algorithms, Adaptive Modulation, Equalization …
• Information and Coding Theory: Information-theoretic joint communication and sensing (JCAS), physical layer security, information theory and adaptive hypothesis testing
• Hardware: Learning-based JCAS network design, GNURadio/Software defined radio timing-based indoor localization based on OFDM (This is part of my involvement in VIP and AFRL).

Non-academic interests:

• Philosophy and Common Law.
• Tennis. Played for over 10 years. I consider myself a 4.5 player.
• Strategic games including Chess (2000 rated) and Gwent: the Witcher Card Game, where I was the World Champion.
