Researching Statement

چکیده

As a network researcher, my goal is to develop theoretical frameworks for the control and optimization of large-scale engineering networks and explore the practical implications of such fundamental understanding. Motivated by concrete real-life applications, I pursue the underlying theoretical findings that can contribute to the fundamentals of networks and shed light on other practical applications in a general domain. First, I search for important practical problems in various networks that could benefit from strong theoretical support. Next, I develop a generalized problem and explore it from different angles. Finally, I extend the obtained theoretical results to other applications within the same mathematical framework. My thesis research centers on network tomography from the perspective of sparse recovery, where tools in networking, signal processing, communication, and optimization are leveraged. Among my contributions to this topic, I characterized fundamental limits of sparse recovery, and designed explicit measurement construction methods subject to network topological constraints. Also, I have been working on various optimization problems in different kinds of networks, including joint routing and congestion control of the Internet [2], bad data detection in power networks [8, 9], load management of data center networks [3], and distributed inference in wireless sensor networks [1].

Book Review: 'Teaching and Researching Writing (3rd Edition)'

Writing has an overarching significance in our lives. We experience this significance in our personal, professional and social activities. Much of who we are and who we wish to become in our social life, in the professional community we belong to and even in the privacy of our individual life is the outcome of what we write and how we write. We are often judged and evaluated by our control of i...

Research Statement v9x

My research so far has focused on the synergetic relationship between Groupware, Middleware and Software Engineering. As computing becomes increasingly ubiquitous, new collaborative tools and applications are created. These applications require novel software infrastructures, or Middleware, that are able to support and evolve with the constant shift of networking and application domain requirem...

Investigating the Anomalous States of Knowledge hypothesis in a real-life problem situation: A study of history and psychology undergraduates seeking information for a course essay

needs of 59 McGill University undergraduates researching essay topics for either a history or psychology course, interviewed just after they had selected their essay topic. The interview’s purpose was to transform the undergraduate’s query from general topic terms, based on vague conceptions of their essay topic, to an information need-based query. To chart the transformation, the authors inves...

The Politics of Researching Global Health Politics; Comment on “Knowledge, Moral Claims and the Exercise of Power in Global Health”

In this comment, I build on Shiffman’s call for the global health community to more deeply investigate structural and productive power. I highlight two challenges we must grapple with as social scientists carrying out the types of investigation that Shiffman proposes: the politics of  challenging the powerful; and the need to investigate types of expertise that have traditionally been thought o...

Advancing Global Health – The Need for (Better) Social Science; Comment on “Navigating Between Stealth Advocacy and Unconscious Dogmatism: The Challenge of Researching the Norms, Politics and Power of Global Health”

In his perspective “Navigating between stealth advocacy and unconscious dogmatism: the challenge of researching the norms, politics and power of global health,” Ooms argues that actions taken in the field of global health are dependent not only on available resources, but on the normative premise that guides how these resources are spent. This comment sets out how the application of a predomina...
