Research interests

My research interests lie broadly in the span of information theory and machine learning. Recently, I am passionate about exploring the mathematical underpinnings and developing novel algorithms for data science problems such as reinforcement learning and community detection.

• Information Theory: Covert Communication, Information-theoretic security, Mismatched Decoding

• Reinforcement Learning (RL): RL from Human Feedback (RLHF), Multi-agent RL, Online/Offline RL

• Community Detection (a.k.a. clustering): Stochastic Block Model, Hypergraph
