University of Arkansas (Jan 2016 – May 2020)

Low-latency Anomaly Detection:

  • Main focus of my Ph.D. dissertation
  • Developed a real-time algorithm for detecting false data injection attacks and state estimation in smart grid with dynamic models and evaluated the analytical performance of the algorithm using Markov-chain.
  • Formulated a low-latency algorithm for detecing bearing faults of direct-drive wind turbines utilizing the statistical distribution of stator currents at a given frequency.
  • Proposed a sequential algorithm for quick change point detection in a system with multiple post-change models under both bayesian and non-bayesian setting.

Optimized Scheduling:

  • Formulated a scheduling strategy for information pushing system based on optimal stopping time theory to optimize the delay and energy efficiency.
  • Designed Markov decision process (MDP) based multicast scheduling scheme in delay-constrained content-centric wireless networks while optimizing overall system cost.
  • Proposed a periodic MDP-based online policy of battery charge scheduling for grid-connected photo-voltaic systems with the objective of minimizing the long-term energy cost purchased from the grid.

Mobile Edge Computing:

  • Presented a Deep Reinforcement Learning- based approach for optimal dynamic computation offloading and resource allocation in multi-user mobile edge computing (MEC) systems using Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG) algorithm.

Image Processing and Pattern Recognition:

  • Developed algorithms for human action recognition based on spatio-temporal variations of human silhouette while applying classification methods such as kNN and SVM.
  • Designed schemes for lip contour extraction using morphological reconstruction based segmentation approach with k-means clustering.
