Elizabeth Polito

I am an incoming Ph.D. student in EECS at UC Berkeley and a recent graduate of Cornell University with a B.S. in Electrical & Computer Engineering.

My research interests lie in information theory and signal processing. At Cornell, I was fortunate to be advised by Professor Aaron Wagner. I contributed to the development of efficient algorithms for channel simulation, a form of lossy compression with applications in multimedia and model compression. At Berkeley, I will continue to pursue these interests as a member of BLISS.
