  • Research Interests

    My research focuses on developing edge AI and advanced optimization techniques for efficient, reliable, and adaptive intelligent systems.  I am particularly interested in cyber-physical systems, decentralized IoT, and software-defined networks, and in applying these technologies to challenging real-world environments such as smart agriculture, digital health, and smart infrastructure.
