Research Overview

Research Interests

My research explores the information-theoretic foundations and algorithm design for decentralized networked systems, with a focus on:

• networking and multi-agent systems;
• decentralized learning and distributed information processing;
• security, privacy, and robustness.

I contribute to several research communities. My home communities are information theory and networking, and I also maintain strong ties to machine learning and to security and privacy communities.

Fundamental Tools:

• Theory: Information Theory, Stochastic Processes, Graph Theory.
• Learning: Foundation Models, Distributed Optimization, Reinforcement Learning.
