Ph.D. Students

Oğuzhan Kubilay Ülger

“I am currently interested in task-oriented and multiterminal source coding, with a particular focus on deriving information-theoretic bounds for one-shot compression problems. I enjoy working on information theory, statistics and wireless communications.”

Ezgi Özyılkan

“My current research is driven by a passion for connecting theory and practice in compression and telecommunication problems, particularly in distributed scenarios. I leverage tools from deep learning, signal processing, data compression and information theory, yielding interpretable results.”

Ozan Aygün

“I have been working on utilizing reinforcement learning tools on network optimization, particularly in routing and scheduling for packets with strict deadlines. My research interests include, but not limited to, machine learning, wireless communications, and federated learning.”

Aritra Roy

“I am broadly interested in applied probability and wireless communications. I’m currently
working on information theoretic analysis of covert communication systems with particular
emphasis on hardware-based adversaries.”

Parker Huggins

“My research interests are at the intersection of wireless communications, signal processing, and information theory. My work emphasizes power-limited and energy-efficient communication for next-generation wireless systems.”

Stepan Gorelenkov

“My interests lie at the intersection of information theory, machine learning, and wireless communications. I am currently working on achieving theoretical rates in multi-user communication systems.”

Visiting Students

Kyu-Yeong Kim

“I work at the intersection of machine learning, optimization, and wireless communications. Previously, I explored non-terrestrial networks and physical-layer security, with a particular focus on trajectory design for UAVs serving ground receivers in SWIPT systems. I now focus on integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) and task-oriented and semantic communications.“

Gwankyo Nam

“My research focuses on task offloading and resource allocation optimization in edge computing systems. I am particularly interested in incorporating dynamic network characteristics and task dependency into offloading strategies. In addition, I am broadly interested in edge AI and its applications in intelligent networked systems.”
