RESEARCH:	The nature of information processing has evolved dramatically over the years as we try to explore increasingly complex and diverse systems ranging from the Internet and wireless networks, to the human brain and genome. I am interested in developing techniques at the intersection of statistical machine learning and signal processing that can adaptively learn and exploit the low-dimensional information structure inherent in high-dimensional systems for efficient inference. The primary thrust of my research is on bridging the gap between theoretically optimal and practically useful methods with applications that include wireless and sensor networks, internet data analysis, neuroscience and bioinformatics. Current Projects: CAREER: Distilling information structure from big and dirty data: Efficient learning of clusters and graphs in modern datasets (Sponsored by NSF) BIGDATA: Distribution-based machine learning for high dimensional datasets (Sponsored by NSF) Resource-constrained data collection and fusion for identifying weak distributed patterns in networks (Sponsored by AFOSR) Spectral Methods for Active Clustering and Bi-Clustering (Sponsored by NSF) Previous Projects: Using Non-Local Connectivity Information to Identify Nascent Disease Outbreaks (Sponsored by NIH MIDAS National Center of Excellence at University of Pittsburgh) PUBLICATIONS
