Bio

Krishnan Eswaran is a PhD candidate at UC Berkeley and advised by Professors Michael Gastpar and Kannan Ramchandran. He is a member of the Wireless Foundations Center, as well as the SIPC and BASICS groups. He received his M.S. in Electrical Engineering from UC Berkeley and a B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Cornell University. He has interned at AT&T Labs, the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), and the Broad Institute.

His research has been supported by a Vodafone U.S. Foundation Fellowship and a National Science Foundation ITR grant.

Tehnical Reports/Theses

Teaching

In the fall of 2003, I was a Graduate Student Instructor for EE120: Signals and Systems. During my undergraduate years, I held office hours for an intermediate programming class and was an HKN class tutor for discrete-time signal processing.

Academic Development

In the summer of 2006, I participated in the MSRI Summer Graduate Workshop: Mathematical aspects of computational biology at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) in Berkeley, CA. In the summer of 2008, I attended the First Annual School of Information Theory at the University Park Campus, Penn State University.
