About me
Hello! Thank you for visiting my website. I’m currently transitioning between academic positions. I was a former postdoc at UIUC working with Prof. Naira Hovakimyan. I received my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland, under the supervision of Prof. Derek A. Paley in 2021. My Curriculum Vitae can be found here.
