RESEARCH

“We have not succeeded in answering all our problems. The answers we have found only serve to raise a whole set of new questions. In some ways we feel we are as confused as ever, but we believe we are confused on a higher level and about more important things.” — posted outside the mathematics reading room, Tromsø University

My research focuses on optimization, statistics, machine learning, wireless communications, and their applications to 6G, IoT, and edge AI, including:

6G wireless networks
Edge artificial intelligence
Federated learning and analytics
Optimization and statistics
Internet-of-Things
