I am currently a research fellow (Post Doc.) in the [http://www.see.ed.ac.uk/research/IDCOM/ Institute for Digital Communications (IDCom)], [http://ed.ac.uk University of Edinburgh]. My current research is funded by the EPSRC Grant, titled "Signal Processing for Networked Battlespace". I was previously supported by the EPSRC platform garnt on "Sensor Signal Processing" and EU RC through the "Sparse Models, Algorithms, and Learning for Large-scale data", [http://small.inria.fr SMALL], project. I am mainly interested in the efficient optimisation algorithms and model based signal processing. Particularly, I am working on data and problem-adaptive inverse problem algorithms. I am also interested in the low computational algorithms for mobile platforms. #I am also a member of the [http://ecos.maths.ed.ac.uk/ "Edinburgh Compressed Sensing Group (E-CoS)"], which aims to facilitate the interdisciplinary research in the signal processing area. The main focuses of this group are compressed sensing and sparse inverse problems. = Research Activity - Research Interests -- Compressed Sensing Theory and Algorithms -- Large Scale Sparse Approximations and Compressed Sensing -- Data-Adaptive Computation -- Dictionary Learning for Sparse Approximation/Representation -- Cosparse Signal Model -- Theoretical Analysis of Dictionary Learning - I collaborate with the following researchers: -- [http://webdb.ucs.ed.ac.uk/see/staff/staff/index.cfm?person=mdavies4&CFID=2377815&CFTOKEN=21442435 Prof. Mike Davies] from the University of Edinburgh -- [http://www.irisa.fr/metiss/members/remi/index_html Dr. Remi Gribonval] from INRIA, Rennes -- [http://www.institut-langevin.espci.fr/Laurent-Daudet,207 Prof. Laurent Daudet] from University Paris Diderot - Paris 7 -- [http://scholar.google.co.uk/citations?user=O00Oaz8AAAAJ&hl=en Dr. Shaun Kelly] from the University of Edinburgh -- [http://webdb.ucs.ed.ac.uk/see/staff/index.cfm?mode=staff&person=Mr%20Di%20Wu Di Wu] from the University of Edinburgh -- [http://www.irisa.fr/metiss/members/snam/ Dr. Sangnam Nam] from INRIA, Rennes -- [http://www.personal.soton.ac.uk/tb1m08 Dr. Thomas Blumensath] from the University of Southampton = Recent Publications \n */[http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=ljyqX34AAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao Google Scholar List] /* \n \n */Preprints/* \n \n - \[[http://www.signalprocessingsociety.org/publications/periodicals/letters/ L]\] /Fast Non-Negative Orthogonal Matching Pursuit/, with D.
