Bharath B. N

I am a PhD student in the Dept. of Electrical Communication Engineering, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, working under the supervision of Prof. Chandra R. Murthy. I work in the area of reciprocal MIMO channel estimation. My research interests include Information theory, Estimation theory, Machine learning, High dimensional statistics and Signal Processing applications in communication problems.

=====Teaching experience===== I was a TA for the following courses:
1. Detection and estimation theory (Spring 2010)
2. Matrix theory (Fall 2010)
3. Detection and estimation theory (Spring 2011)
I was a TA for the following course: Matrix theory (Fall 2012).
Course instructor: Prof. Chandra R. Murthy
I found (among other standard “reference” books) the text book titled “Linear Algebra A geometric Approach” (an undergraduate level text) by S. Kumeresan very interesting. Also, I found a very good introduction to linear algebra in a book by Vinberg, titled “A course in Algebra” published by AMS publications. Although the main focus of the book is on abstract algebra, there is a substantial amount of linear algebra and geometry as well. Further, the development of the topic on the Jordon form seems to be very interesting. Subsequently, I will try to post some interesting problems and concepts in linear algebra and Matrix theory as a pdf attachment. I have uploaded the course notes (rough sketch). Please let me know if there are any errors/typos (technical/non-technical) in the document.
