August 07, 2015

Jelena Marašević has been selected among the top 60 female graduate students and postdoctoral scholars invited to participate in the 2015 MIT Rising Stars in Electrical Engineering Computer Science, the annual workshop that unites the top women in EECS for two days of research presentations and informal panels and that is aimed at those navigating the initial stages of their academic career. At the workshop, Jelena will present a poster about her work on full-duplex that was performed as part of the FlexICoN project.

Jelena Marašević is a Ph.D. student at Columbia University in the Wireless and Mobile Networking Lab advised by Professor Gil Zussman. Her research focuses on algorithms for fair resource allocation problems, with applications in wireless networks. She received her B.Sc. degree from University of Belgrade, School of Electrical Engineering, in 2011, and her M.S. degree in electrical engineering from Columbia University in 2012. For her M.S. degree, she received the M.S. Award of Excellence.

In Spring 2012, Jelena organized the first cellular networking hands-on lab for a graduate class in wireless and mobile networking. For this work, she received the Best Educational Paper Award at GENI GREE2013, and she was also awarded the Jacob Millman Prize for Excellence in Teaching Assistance from Columbia University. In 2015, Jelena and Columbia EE Ph.D. student Jin Zhou won a Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship Award for a joint inter-disciplinary research proposal on full-duplex communication in OFDM networks.
