Thesis Title: Sparse Regression Codes for Network Communications

Supervisor: Dr Ramji Venkataramanan

Background

I completed my undergraduate BA and MEng degrees at CUED, specialising in Computer and Information Engineering. My Masters project involved optimisation in the biologically inspired context of bacterial colony pattern formation, and I also studied signal processing and statistics.

Research Interests

My research focuses on information theory and coding for communications. I am interested in the new area of sparse regression codes (SPARCs) and their application to network information theory issues, such as the multiple description problem and coding with side information.
