Academic Achievements
- LDPC code design for 5G New Radio published in IEEE Communications Magazine (March 2018); key features adopted into 5G standards.
- Proved that Reed-Muller codes achieve Shannon capacity on the binary erasure channel, resolving a long-standing conjecture.
- Established the 'threshold saturation' principle explaining why spatially coupled codes universally achieve capacity under belief propagation.
- Holds multiple patents (Patents section listed on website).
- Published numerous high-impact research papers (Publications section available).
- Recipient of multiple awards and honors (Awards & Honors section listed).
Research Experience
- Senior Staff Engineer at Qualcomm Research, Bridgewater, New Jersey, USA.
- Developed next-generation wireless technologies including turbo equalization for vehicular channels (chip-implemented), cellular-based WiFi enhancement, and advanced channel codes for 5G New Radio.
- Demonstrated that Reed-Muller codes achieve capacity on the binary erasure channel.
- Designed a joint error-correction coding (ECC) and crosstalk-avoidance coding (CAC) scheme for on-chip parallel data buses.
- Pioneered the theory of spatial coupling, introducing the 'threshold saturation' phenomenon; delivered a tutorial at ISIT 2013.
- Built a mobile indoor positioning system fusing WiFi, inertial, and magnetic sensor data via Bayesian inference and particle filtering, achieving centimeter-level median accuracy.
