Serhat Arslan
Ph.D. Student in Electrical Engineering, admitted Autumn 2018
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsNetwork intelligence
There are 2 main aspects of network management:
Sensing
- Collecting useful and enough amount of information from the network is essential for modern, data-centric decision processes to work well.
Frameworks such as In-band Network Telemetry could be utilized to collect precise information on every single packet in the network.
Control
- Modern data science methodologies allow engineers to infer about the state of the network.
Naturally, the next step is to design tailored control algorithms that would utilize available resources the best.
Potential methods include, but not limited to, machine learning algorithms and control theory. -

John Cioffi
Hitachi America Professor in the School of Engineering, Emeritus
BioJohn M. Cioffi taught Stanford's graduate electrical engineering course sequence in digital communications for over 20 years from 1986 to 2008, when he retired to emeritus. Cioffi's research interests were in the theory of transmitting the highest possible data rates on a number of different communications channels, many of which efforts were spun out of Stanford through he and/or his many former PhD students to companies, most notably including the basic designed used worldwide on more than 500 million DSL connections. Cioffi also over saw the prototype developments for the worlds first cable modem and digital-audio broadcast system. Cioffi pioneering the use of remote management algorithms to improve (over the internet or cloud) both wireline (DSL) and wireless (Wi-Fi) physical-layer transmission performance, an area often known as Dynamic Spectrum Management or Dynamic Line Management. Cioffi was co-inventer on basic patents for vectored DSL transmission and optimized MIMO wireless transmission. In his early career, Cioffi developed the worlds first full-duplex voiceband data modem while at Bell Laboratories, and the worlds first adaptively equalized disk read channel while at IBM. His courses and research projects over the years centered on these areas.

Assistant Professor of Statistics and of Electrical Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research interests span statistics, machine learning, computation, and optimization. Modern techniques for data gathering have yielded extraordinary mass and diversity of data. Yet the amount of data is no panacea; it is challenging to identify the best ways to analyze and make inferences from information we collect. How can we balance multiple criteria--such as computation, communication, or privacy--while maintaining statistical performance?
