Gokul Sridharan

I am a post-doctoral researcher at WINLAB, Rutgers University. I received my doctoral degree from University of Toronto and was advised by Prof. Wei Yu. I work in the area of communication systems, with specific interest in wireless communications. My doctoral research was focused on understanding interference alignment in multi-antenna cellular networks. My current research interests include intereference management in dense wireless networks, understanding spectrum usage and its implications, and developing algorithms for wireless transceiver design.
