Book project in the making: I have been working on this project for several years

1. From Large Scale to Small Scale Geometric Topology of Networks--Wireline, Wireless, Quantum, and Power

Research Highlights: I am currently involved in the following research areas

1. Coarse geometry of complex networks

   This research started as an attempt to interpret an internet graph as a simplicial complex and determine whether it could be the triangulation of a manifold (see, e.g., the work of Shmuel Weinberger). However, the visually obvious Gromov hyperbolic property of the Internet Service Provider (ISP) and other graphs allowed us to simplity the problem as a coarse geometry one. This led to the following results:

   • For wired network, existence of a congestion core as a result of least cost path routing in a Gromov negatively curved network
   • For wireless network: strong dependency of the capacity region on the Ollivier-Ricci curvature

2. Quantum Information Science and Technology: My foci of interest are the following:

   • Quantum networks: This is a spinoff of my earlier research on congestion in classical networks.

     • A highlight of this research is that, quite contrary to classical networks that have a congestion core, quantum networks have an "anti-core," that is, a spin that has a very low probability of receiving or transmitting a "spin down" excitation. This anti-core needs to be eliminated by control in such devices as quantum routers. 
     • Quantum control for selective excitation-encoded information information in quantum routers is highly nonclassical, in the sense that the error defined as (1-fidelity) is concordant with the sensitivity of the error to spin coupling and bias fiedl focusing uncertainties. In other words, in contradiction to classical robust control, the best controllers in terms of minimal error are also the least sensitivitive to uncertainties.

   • Decoherence control: I would just let a quotation from Murray Gell-Mann, 1969 Nobel Laureate in Physics, speak for itself:

     "Finally, the construction of quantum machines is likely to need major advances in our uses of feedback techniques, which differ qualitatively from their classical counterparts because of information-disturbance theorems that preclude gaining information about a quantum system without introducing projection noise into its evolution." [Source: the Santa-Fe Institute]

   • Adiabatic Quantum Computations

     • Differential topology explanation of the gap phenomenon: This is a spinoff of my earlier reseach on the differential topology of the numerical range. The Toeplitz-Hausdorff theorem says that the numerical range is convex with, generically, a smooth boundary curve. Less well known is the fact that the numerical range has, in addition to the boundary curve, other crtical value curves that are highly singular. The connection with adiabatic computation is that the minimum energy level is related to the smooth boundary curve while the first and higher excitation levels are related to the singular critical value curves. We further conjecture that the swallow tail singularity is a differential-topolological manifestation of tunneling.
     • Benchmark AQC scheduling of wireless networks: A hotly debated isue is whther there is, if not a quantum speed-up, at least a "quantum advantage." We found a quantum advantage in the sense that the gap expansion technique to have the minimum energy solution satisfy the interference constraints works much better in quantum annealing than in classical simulated annealing.

3. Smart Grid: I have five focis of interest:

   • Connection between line overloading and curvature of the bus model, embodied in a novel electrical betweenness centrality concept
   • Multi-agent cooperative voltage stability control
   • Detection of false data injection
   • PMU driven load modeling for voltage stability
   • PMU data analysis to anticipate imminent blackout

4. Biomedical signal processing: I have two focis of interest:

   • Surface electromyographic (sEMG) data processing as a mean to investigate coherence on the neuro-skeletal system
   • Electrocardiographic (ECG) signal processing: The beat-to-beat interval is viewed as a Poincare return time, from which such dynamical properties as mixing can be assessed
   • Mathematical oncology
