UT ECE Professors Sujay Sanghavi and Sanjay Shakkottai Receive NSF Award

Sept. 3, 2013
Prof. Sujay Sanghavi and Prof. Sanjay Shakkottai of UT ECE have received a National Science Foundation (NSF) award for their work on "NeTS: Small: Inverse Problems from Cascades: Structure, Causation and Opinions." Professors Sanghavi and Shakkottai aim to develop a new theoretical and algorithmic understanding of these classic processes. Their  focus is on using cascades as an inference and learning tool, instead of merely a mathematically convenient model.
