Mai Vu
PhD, Stanford EE, 2006
I am currently a Lecturer on Engineering Sciences at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University.
Research
- Wireless communications
- Cognitive radio and networks
- Statistical signal processing
- Information theory
- Convex optimization and applications
My research interests span the areas of signal processing for communications, information theory, and convex optimization. For my PhD thesis, I studied MIMO wireless systems. I analyzed the impacts of partial transmit channel side information on the system capacity, and designed precoding techniques exploiting this information to improve performance. I am now working on wireless cognitive networks. I study the network information theoretic limits, analyze system performance and design efficient, distributed signal processing algorithms. Details are available on my research page.
