Introduction
Welcome to the Information Theory Laboratory (ITL) in the Institute of Communication Engineering of the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at the National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU). The ITL was funded by Professor Stefan Moser in 1998 and was later inherited by Professor Stefano Rini in 2013. The main research topic performed at ITL are information theory, communication theory, machine learning and information retrieval. If you are interested in joining ITL send us an email or just swing by to say hi. We are located at located in Engineering Building IV, Lab 716A.
We have master, PhD and postdoc position available for interested students. Summer internship and thesis supervision are also welcomed.

About the Professor
DR. STEFANO RINI
Dr. Stefano Rini is an associate professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, National Chiao-Tung University (NCTU), Taiwan. He received the B.A. degree in computer science from the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, in 2005, the M.S. degree in both Electrical and Computer Engineering and Statistics from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) in 2009. He earned his doctoral degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois in Chicago (UIC) in 2011, with adviser Professor Tuninetti and co-adviser Professor Devroye, with a thesis titled “Cognition and Cooperation in Wireless Networks: an Information Theoretic Perspective”. In 2012, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Communications Engineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany with Professor Kramer. In 2013 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University with Professor Goldsmith. In 2014 he joined NCTU. He is currently an editor in for the IEEE Transaction of Communication.
