Learning to collaborate.
Adapting to heterogeneity.

My research connects heterogeneous federated learning with multi-center medical imaging and adaptive control in Open RAN. These frameworks explore how clients share knowledge, how policies adapt, and how independent controllers work together.

Learning and orchestration for Open RAN

From adapting UE policies to coordinating network, edge, and xApp controllers.

Network–edge coordination through federated runtime contracts

Mediates independent radio, routing, batching, and compute proposals against end-to-end service objectives. Personalized impact models screen actions; independent closed-loop tests validate complete versioned execution policies.

Core idea Bind local execution authority to calibrated evidence, with bounded intervention and explicit invalidation.

  • Runtime contracts
  • Network–edge coordination
  • Closed-loop calibration

Pandora: Personalized Adaptive Network-Driven Open RAN Orchestration with Federated Contracts

IEEE INFOCOM 2027 Main Conference · 2027

Coordinates resource, steering, and QoS xApps through site-personalized feasible action regions. Federated impact models and calibrated risk screening inform contracts; weighted projection minimally adjusts incompatible joint proposals.

Core idea Learn where xApps can operate together, while preserving their own policies.

  • xApp coordination
  • Federated contracts
  • Risk calibration

St-INTEL: Stackelberg-Intent Enhanced Learning based Resource Allocation in 5G Open RAN

Computer Communications - Special Issue: Intent-Based Agentic AI for Next-Generation Networking · 2026

Connects intent-aware MILP benchmarks and scarcity prices to UE-local DDQN request policies. Federated updates share experience across heterogeneous users, while periodic and event-triggered optimization refreshes network guidance.

Core idea Turn operator intent into slow-timescale guidance for fast, feasible request–grant control.

  • Intent-aware allocation
  • Shadow pricing
  • Federated RL

First Revision

Transfer-enhanced Federated Learning with Dynamic Clustering for Traffic Management in 5G Open RAN

Computer Communications · 2026

Combines UE-local reinforcement learning with dynamic client grouping at the non-RT RIC. Graph embeddings and soft memberships personalize federated policies, while model transfer supports handovers and newly connected UEs.

Core idea Adapt traffic-control policies as radio conditions, client groups, and UE locations change.

  • Federated RL
  • Dynamic clustering
  • Model transfer

Federated learning under heterogeneity

From variation in client updates to graph-based and relation-aware collaboration.

Causal Representation-Based Personalized Federated Learning with Causal Graph Consensus for Medical Imaging

Electronics - Special Issue: AI-Driven Medical Image/Video Processing · 2026

Uses latent proxy graphs to describe differences between medical institutions. Structure-aware clustering and acyclic graph consensus guide personalized representation learning, while local heads preserve site-specific prediction behavior.

Core idea Make shared structural dependencies a coordination prior for multi-center medical imaging.

  • Medical imaging
  • Causal graph consensus
  • Personalized FL

Federated Learning with Dual-Scale Hybrid Divergence and Relation-Aware Embedding for Structured Non-IID Data

Applied Soft Computing · 2026

Models structured client heterogeneity through complementary label and feature distribution summaries. Hybrid divergence, graph representation learning, and soft community memberships guide collaboration under partial participation.

Core idea Represent overlapping client relationships beyond a single measure of distribution mismatch.

  • Hybrid divergence
  • Graph representation
  • Soft membership

FedGCD: Federated Learning Algorithm with GNN based Community Detection for Heterogeneous Data

Journal of Internet Computing and Services (JICS) · 2023

Uses a graph view of federated clients to identify communities with related data characteristics. Community detection and membership-aware aggregation organize collaboration in heterogeneous, non-IID settings.

Core idea Make client relationships part of federated model aggregation.

  • Community detection
  • Client graphs
  • Non-IID learning

FedVar: Federated Learning Algorithm with Weight Variation in Clients

International Technical Conference on Circuits/Systems, Computers and Communications (ITC-CSCC) · 2022

Studies variation in client model weights as a signal for server-side aggregation. Statistics of client updates provide a lightweight way to account for heterogeneous local training behavior.

Core idea Use client-weight variation to inform aggregation under non-IID data.

  • Weight variation
  • Adaptive aggregation
  • Non-IID learning
