Santosh S. Venkatesh
Associate Professor
Electrical and Systems Engineering (ESE)
Honors and Awards: Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching - 2004
Research Expertise: Information Theory | Machine Learning | Neural Computation
Santosh is interested in probabilistic methods applied to fundamental problems in information, communication, and security. Using tools from large deviation theory and combinatorial graph theory, he has investigated foundational questions in statistical pattern recognition, computational learning, communication efficacy, and neural computation. Santosh is currently working on problems in wireless network connectivity, defenses against denial of service attacks on computer infrastructure, and information measures in genomics.
