Research Interests

My research interests are in information theory and cognitive wireless networks.

My current research areas are:

• compressive sensing;
• novel modulation and diversity schemes for high speed wireless transmission;
• Ultra-Wideband (UWB) channel modeling, signal detection and networking;
• powerline communication;
• locating and tracking based on wireless sensor networks;
• network self-optimization and heterogeneous networks.

My research also covers practical industrial topics such as

• cross layer design for connection aware applications;
• service oriented baseband design for RFID (Radio-frequency identification);
• UWB for medical applications and standardization of telecommunication technologies.
