Pulkit Grover Ìý(Ph.D. UC Berkeley'10, B.Tech.'03, M.Tech.'05 IIT Kanpur) is an associate professor in Electrical & Computer Engineering at CMU (2013-), working on information theory, circuit design, and biomedical engineering. His main contributions to science are on developing a new theory of information for low-energy communication, sensing, and computing by incorporating novel (noisy and noiseless) circuit-energy models to add to classical communication or sensing energy models. A common theme is observing when novel optimal designs depart radically from classical theoretical intuition, and testing when these novel designs can lead to arbitrarily large benefits. To apply these ideas to a variety of problems including communication (wired and wireless), wearables, IoT, and novel biomedical systems, his lab works extensively with circuit engineers, neuroscientists, and doctors.Ìý
