Research
Fundamentals: Statistical signal processing, stochastic control (POMDPs), stochastic optimization, inverse reinforcement learning.
Applications: Dynamics of social networks with LLMs and humans, Adaptive sensing and cognitive radar.
Previously, I worked extensively on hidden Markov models, EM algorithms, nonlinear filtering, resource allocation in wireless netwoks, and biosensing. My current research interests have evolved toward the intersection of stochastic optimization, learning, and human–LLM social network dynamics.
