P.R. Kumar好像自从前些年做wireless network的capacity scaling law和connectivity之后，就不怎么挖IT的坑了，基本在做一些上层的东西，delay控制什么的。不知道有没有人在交流的时候跟他talk过，了解为什么吗，是IT没有什么好坑了吗？

我一直在期待他在financial economics方面能挖出好坑

信息论大牛
比如当年和Cover合作的那个关于relay channel的工作，就被不断引用

兄台何处此言啊？我从Kumar主页上看不到他最近有在做financial economics的迹象啊，都是network。以前的research interest倒是挂了个financial economics的名头，不过连publication都没挂。

El Gamal大牛是大家公认的。不过说真的，我知道的他特别有名的work都是前期和cover一起做的，比如relay，coorelated source over mac，还有cutset bound等等。他自己单独的很有名的work，我倒真不知道有什么，可能是我孤陋寡闻了。他老前阵子还搞到硬件那边去了，哈哈，真是牛人。他和young-han kim写的lectures notes on nit前阵子也放到网上去了，造福大家，哈哈。

掖着捂着的都是二流选手
