My research group do research at the intersection of Wireless Communications, Statistical Signal Processing, and Optimization. There are numerous applications of my research in information theory, data fusion, security, spectrum intelligence, machine learning, and data science.

I received my Ph.D. degree from Purdue University in Electrical and Computer Engineering. I was a recipient of the best paper award of IEEE Transactions on Communications (IEEE Communication Society Stephen O. Rice Prize 2016). I received the Faculty of the Year Award, (2024) presented by the Kansas Board of Regents (KBOR), KU School of Engineering Miller Professional Award for Research (2023), Miller Faculty Awards (both in 2021 and 2022), and Harry Talley Excellence in Teaching Award (2022).

I am currently serving as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications. Previously, I served as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Communications.

For prospective graduate students: If you want to conduct research in my group, please feel free to send me an email that contains as minimum support (i) your CV, (ii) academic transcripts, and (iii) a review of one of my papers. I read all emails but have difficulty in responding to every email.

Postdocs: One postdoc position focusing on applied Information Theory and Machine Learning for Communications is available. If you are interested, please send me your CV with a complete list of publications.
