About me
I am an associate professor in Dept of Information Science and Engineering, School of Electrical Engg and Computer Science, KTH. I am also a Fellow of Digital Futures.
Signal procesing and machine learning - these two vast fields are highly interconnected. My research mainly is in these two fields. In few words, the research interests are processing and analysis of signals and/or data for inferences such as detection, estimation, classification, prediction, learning, and finally decision. Please note that I get (easily) excited by the potential and/or prospects of algorithm design, analysis and applications. Therfore, please moderate your expectations. To mention some topics:
- Signal modeling,such as sparsity, compressive sensing, dynamical systems.
- Statistical signal processing, statistical machine learning, deep learning.
- Speech,audio, image processing.
- Medical data analytics.
- Perception for autonomous vehicles.
- Explainable machine learning.
Explainable machine learning is close to my heart having a signal processing background. Medical data analysis is slowly becoming a passion due to inherent challenges and societal importance.

Master Thesis Opportunity
I am willing to supervise interesting master thesis projects, preferably within the above mentioned research topics, but not limited to them. Interested candidates may contact either by a mail or to drop in my office for an informal discussion.
Collaborations
I am open to collaborations. You are welcome to approach me. Few points below.
- KTH has an outstanding enviroment and many of my colleagues are experts, with whom I collaborate in a regular basis. You may directly approach them, or approach me to bring them on board.
- I have established collaborations with several institutions across the world.
- Fortunately I enjoy close cooperations with several companies and medical institutions, where I try to place my students for thesis and jobs.
- From this year 2022, supported by a generous grant from SSF, I spend time in Karolinska University Hospital and Karolinska Institutet for medical data analysis.
- I also like to provide consultancy in data analysis (or data science). Please note that the consultacy will be only given if KTH has no competing interest.
What I do wish or like
Teaching and research both I like. I love algorithm design and analysis. While I like various application scenarios, medical data analysis is slowly becoming an objective, perhaps because Covid has taught us a meaning of life. A new wish - research for defence of Sweden, Nordics or EU, given the sudden war situations. While I get (easily) excited by machine learning and sigal processing, I try to avoid 'extraordinary wishful claims', but search for theoretical motivations and analytical foundations. Naturally,explainable machine learning is an way forward.
