Viveck Cadambe

Prof. Viveck Cadambe is an Associate Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of California, Irvine (2006), and was a postdoctoral researcher at Boston University and MIT's Research Laboratory of Electronics (2011–2014). His research focuses on theoretical and applied aspects of information theory, with applications to secure machine learning, distributed systems, wireless networks, and cloud storage. He leads the LITES Lab, which develops foundational algorithms and systems for information processing.

Key research areas include privacy-preserving computation, coded distributed storage, and interference alignment in wireless networks. His work bridges theoretical analysis (e.g., information-theoretic limits) and practical implementations (e.g., prototyping distributed systems).

Prof. Cadambe has received multiple awards, including the 2009 IEEE Information Theory Society Best Paper Award, 2016 NSF Career Award, and a 2019 Google Faculty Award. He serves as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Communications. His lab actively explores topics such as

• Secure multiparty computation with differential privacy
• Geo-distributed storage systems (e.g., LEGOStore)
• Coded computing for fault-tolerant distributed algorithms

Recent research highlights include

• Optimal recovery thresholds for coded matrix multiplication
• Latency-optimized storage schemes for distributed systems
• Adversarial-resistant decentralized machine learning frameworks

His contributions span theoretical insights, algorithm design, and system prototyping, emphasizing practical scalability and robustness.
