The fellows are expected to have significant freedom in choosing the research direction they want to pursue, and will be encouraged to collaborate with several faculty members (and their research groups) in the Wireless Networking and Communications Group ( WNCG ). This is an interdisciplinary and highly collaborative group of faculty with expertise in wireless, networks, information theory, statistics, signal processing and machine learning.
