Our research is in the field of multiuser information theory and
coding. It deals with the study of probabilistic models for
compression of multiple signals, reliable transmission among several
users and secure communication. The main objectives are
characterizations of the fundamental limits of performance, and
analysis of coding, modulation and signal processing techniques for
attaining this performance. Applications lie in a variety of
communication networks.
Our current research focuses on understanding
how in certain multiterminal system models, correlation among the signals
at network terminals can be exploited, through managed cooperation, in
designing efficient methods for signal sampling, compression,
transmission and assuring information security. Provable limits of
performance and techniques for achieving them are analyzed.
Specific research projects include:
sampling-quantization-distortion tradeoffs in statistical inference for
random field models; connections between common randomness generation by
multiple terminals, network secret key generation and secure function
computation; database privacy; and reliable communication over hybrid radio
frequency and free space optical communication systems.
