Quick Summary

Professionally, I am now a PhD Candidate at the University of Texas at Austin North Carolina State University studying under Prof. Robert W. Heath Jr. My research focuses on integrating signal processing and machine learning for next generation wireless communication (5G, 6G). In particular, my primary focus has been on beam management, codebook design, and feedback for massive MIMO. Feel free to check out my research. If you want to see some of my projects in general head over to my github profile.

If you want to get to know more about me, feel free to look through some of the things I have done during my undergraduate studies, graduate studies or connect with me on social media.

Finally, if you are interested in a professional setting, head over to my CV to see if we could connect professionally. If so, make sure to reach out to me. I am always interested in opportunities and talking about new and exciting ideas!
