Hi there! I am Jaya Prakash — you can call me Jaya or JP. I hail from Malkipuram, a small coastal village in Andhra Pradesh, India. I received my PhD from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Toronto, Canada 2017. Before joining PhD, I was part of the Mobile and Wireless Group developing the LTE MAC layer at Broadcom Communications, Bangalore, India. I received my master’s degree from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, India, in 2010 and my undergraduate degree from the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Warangal, India, in 2008. Before joining IMDEA, I was a postdoc in the Information Science and Engineering Division, EECS, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden.
My Motto: Research is our search for Truth and Truth doesn’t differentiate race, religion, country, caste, creed, etc.
(“The greatest name man ever gave to God is Truth” – Swami Vivekananda)
I am interested in decision-making, learning, and resource allocation/scheduling problems that arise in networking and information systems, in general. My current research focus is on efficient inference in Edge AI systems, working on Hierarchical Inference, Inference Offloading, and the Age of Information. Some of the mathematical tools used in my research so far include Regret Analysis, Design and Analysis of Approximation Algorithms, Queuing Theory, Stochastic Network Calculus, and Markov Decision Processes.
