Description
The Emerging Communication Systems (ECoS) group investigates the intersection of wireless communications, machine learning (ML), low-power design, and security. Our research explores the synergies between these domains to enable future communication systems that are energy-efficient, robust, and secure.
Research Interests
Low-Power Communication Systems: We explore system-level and theoretical foundations for energy-efficient communication, including battery-free, backscatter-enabled technologies, data-driven battery research and battery-aware system design. These efforts aim to support sustainable, always-on connectivity for the Internet of Things and other constrained devices.
Machine Learning and Wireless Communications: We propose wireless communication systems that support distributed learning tasks, with a focus on learning under dynamic scenarios with device constraints, communication-efficient learning, and over-the-air aggregation. We also investigate machine learning methods to enhance wireless communication systems, including tasks such as transceiver design, resource allocation, and channel estimation.
ML-Driven Network and Service Management: Our research includes the development of intelligent frameworks for network management, service assurance, and performance prediction in next-generation systems. This includes neural architecture search, knowledge exposure, and dependable operations for future networks and ML-enhanced IoT applications.
Cybersecurity: Our group advances wireless communication theory and practice while addressing core challenges in information, network, and wireless security. We aim to design systems that are robust, privacy-aware, and secure by default, suitable for future infrastructures.
