I am an assistant professor with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, Michigan State University.  I am also affiliated with the Communications and Signal Processing Lab at Michigan State University (CSP Group).

CV

Research

My research focuses on the theory and applications of statistical signal processing, in particular non-stationary signal analysis. I am interested in developing methods for efficient signal representation, detection and classification. We have investigated the issue of sparsity for image classification. Some recent work in the area can be found in our NIPS paper.

 

My current research focuses on the study of the functional networks in the brain. This research addresses the problem of quantifying the interactions across the brain by developing a comprehensive signal processing framework to study the functionality of the brain as a complex system based on electroencephalogram (EEG) data for a better understanding of psychopathologies.
