Research interests: My research
interests are in the general areas of computational
biology, information theory, and wireless communication
networks with particular emphasis on the following
topics: genomic coding theory, gene expression
modeling, genetic mapping, gene network estimation,
protein-protein interaction inference, distributed
and cooperative communications, cellular technologies
(WCDMA, HSPA, LTE, WiMAX), radio network planning
and optimization, and multimedia transmission
over communication networks.
Students: I am always looking
for motivated students who are interested in
research work in the above areas of interest.
