Research

• Publications
• Computer Networks Research Group at McGill

My research interests are in the areas of computer networking, statistical signal processing, and statistical machine learning. Currently, I'm working on gossip algorithms for distributed processing in sensor networks, radio frequency tomographic imaging networks, and whole-network available bandwidth estimation.

My research is generously sponsored by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada, Le Fonds Quebecois de Recherche sur la Nature et les Technologies (FQRNT), the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, and the Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex Systems (MITACS) Network of Centres of Excellence.
