Marie Siew
I’m currently a Faculty Early Career Award Fellow / Lecturer in the Information Systems Technology and Design Pillar (ISTD) at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD).
I was a postdoctoral researcher in the ECE department, Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Prof Carlee Joe-Wong, till Dec 2023. I received my PhD from ISTD, SUTD in 2021, advised by Prof Tony Quek and Dr Desmond Cai. Prior to that, I obtained my BSc. in Mathematical Sciences from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore in 2016.
Research Interests
A central theme of my research is reliable and trustworthy distributed edge intelligence, enabled by wireless networks. My work focuses on both efficiency (accuracy, delay, energy), and metrics beyond efficiency such as incentive-awareness, privacy, fairness, safety, and sustainability.
Present and past topics that I work on include: >
Edge and Cloud Computing
- Edge offloading and incentives
- Resilient edge intelligence
- Carbon-aware distributed computing and learning
Federated and Distributed Learning
- Multiple model federated learning
- Asynchrony in federated learning, and decentralized FL
- Federated fine-tuning of larger models
- Privacy at the network edge
Wireless Network Optimization
- Fairness, energy efficiency, latency optimization
- Satellite, UAV, and IoT networks
- LLM and agents for networks
