Prospective Graduate Students

I am interested in supervising highly motivated M.Sc. and Ph.D. students working at the intersection of operations research, mathematical optimization, and machine learning for next-generation networked systems, including wireless, underwater, and aerial communication networks. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact me via email with their CV, transcript, and a concise statement of research interests.
