Research
During the last several years, we have been inundated by a deluge of data
in applications including distributed networked systems, finance, medical imaging, and seismics.
My interest lies in fundamental research for problems
involving vast amounts of data that must be processed effectively
and rapidly in order to extract useful - potentially "actionable" - information.
To approach these problems, we must use a
multi-disciplinary approach, and I combine tools
from information theory,
statistical signal processing, machine learning, and
computer science.
I call this computational information processing.
Specific research directions that I have worked on include:
