RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
Summary: Veeravalli conducts research in sensor networks, wireless communications, detection and estimation theory, and
information theory. The broad goals of his research program are: (i)
to develop techniques for optimizing the quality and capacity of
wireless communication systems; and (ii) to develop a system-theoretic
framework for the design, analysis and application of sensor networks.
