Research Interests

The bulk of my research has been on the development and analysis of algorithms for wireless communication systems. Our current focus is on the interface of communications, sensing and control.  Recent research topics of interest include: underwater acoustic communications, communication over channels with state, decentralized control, wireless body area networks for health, joint sensing, control and communication, ultrawideband communications and sensor networks.
