Dr. Fady Alajaji

Biography

Fady Alajaji is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Queen's University. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Maryland, College Park. His primary research interests lie in the field of information communication theory, with a particular focus on coding information-bearing signals for transmission over noisy communication networks. He seeks to understand Shannon theoretic aspects of the problem, aiming to determine fundamental limits for efficiently encoding information that can be recovered with negligible loss. Alajaji is dedicated to developing effective coding techniques and algorithms to achieve reliable data transmission in wireless networks. He also has a long-standing interest in probability problems, examining applications of random processes, reinforcement, contagion models, generalized Polya urns, and stochastic modeling of network epidemics, as well as game theory and the effective bounds of probability with partial information.
