Congratulations to Ph.D. Graduate Jelena Marašević!

July 20, 2016

Jelena Marašević, advised by Prof. Gil Zussman and Prof. Cliff Stein, successfully defended her Ph.D. Thesis titled “Resource Allocation in Wireless Networks: Theory and Applications”. Jelena was one of the initiators of the FlexICoN project and has worked within it since its launch. Her focus is on the algorithms and rate improvement bounds for full-duplex wireless with realistic integrated circuits models. The resulted papers were published in ACM SIGMETIRCS'15, ACM MobiHoc'16, and IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking.

While studying towards the Ph.D., Jelena received the Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship, the GENI GREE’13 Best Educational Paper Award, the Millman Award for an Outstanding Teaching Assistant, the Columbia University Electrical Engineering Master’s Award of Excellence, and was selected to participate in the MIT EECS 2015 Rising Stars workshop (see previous news items).

We thank Jelena for all her hard work and dedication and wish her the best of luck on all future endeavors! Congratulations Jelena!
