About Me

I am a Systems Development Engineer at Amazon Lab126. Prior to this, I was a Senior Research Engineer at Samsung Research America (SRA), where I worked in the Standards and Mobility Innovation (SMI) Lab. I graduated with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Virginia Tech, where I was affiliated with the Wireless@VT Research Group advised by Dr. Jeffrey H. Reed and Dr. Vuk Marojevic. I have a strong experience in undertaking research on fundamental as well as practical aspects of wireless communications, sensing, and localization. I have made several research contributions in the areas of 4G/5G PHY layer security, protocol design, spectrum sharing, radar sensing, and localization. I served as an Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology from 2021-2023.
