New IE associate professor awarded two NSF grants

Gesuado Scutari
Associate Professor Gesualdo Scutari was recently awarded two National Science Foundation grants. His projects are entitled “Communicating While Computing: Mobile Fog Computing Over Wireless Heterogeneous Networks” and “Parallel Online Algorithms for Large-Scale MRI”.

The mobile fog computing project proposes to develop effective, low-complexity, scalable and flexible offloading strategies that operate over a mobile fog computing architecture, in which small-cell base stations are endowed with computing capabilities to offer proximate wireless access and computing. The MRI project puts forth powerful models capturing the characteristics of big dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data, and then offering architectures and algorithms, while revealing fundamental insights into various analytical and implementation trade-offs involved.
