Research
The emergence of large scale networks as physical models for complex dynamic systems and collaborative information processing systems presents new challenges in terms of performance analysis and signal processing. Examples of such networked systems of interest include bot networks of compromised computers, large critical physical infrastructures (such as the power grid or a transportation system), and sensors monitoring a physical field (such as, temperature or water-level, in environmental applications).My research focuses on the development of methodologies to: 1) understand the global qualitative behavior of large scale networked systems from their structural or parametric descriptions; 2) study inference (detection, estimation, filtering) by coupling the apriori description of the networked system with the measurements provided by the sensors. My current interests span the fields of large deviations, stochastic networks, filtering, stochastic approximation, stochastic adaptive control with a view to providing a rigorous framework for the analysis and control of such real-world systems.
