Our research explores the intersection of distributed computing, mathematical optimization, and artificial intelligence to build scalable, efficient, and reliable edge learning systems.

We design algorithms that integrate distributed architectures with optimization principles to improve the efficiency, fairness, and interpretability of modern AI-edge systems, with a focus on large language models, federated and edge learning, and real-time collaborative inference.
