Our research group targets applications in real-time streaming communication systems and physical layer security. Our focus ranges from developing fundamental limits of algorithms and architectures for various applications to demonstrating feasibility via experiments.
The research group is headed by Professor Ashish Khisti, in the Communications Group at the University of Toronto.
