Teaching

In Spring 2007 I was a Graduate Student Instructor for: EE121: Introduction to Digital Communication Systems. EE224A: Digital Communications. Research Interests My main research interests are in the areas of information theory and the theory of communications. Here are some recent results: Salman Avestimehr, Suhas Diggavi and David Tse," Approximate capacity of Gaussian relay networks", a shorter version is submitted to ISIT 2008. pdf Salman Avestimehr, Suhas Diggavi and David Tse," A deterministic approach to wireless relay networks", Proceedings of Allerton Conference on Communication, Control, and computing, Illinois, September 2007 (invited paper). pdf Salman Avestimehr, Suhas Diggavi and David Tse," Wireless network information flow", Proceedings of Allerton Conference on Communication, Control, and computing, Illinois, September 2007 (invited paper). pdf Salman Avestimehr, Suhas Diggavi and David Tse," A deterministic model for wireless relay networks and its capacity", IEEE Information Theory Workshop (ITW), Bergen, Norway, pp 6-11, July 2007.
