About me
I have been an Assistant Professor of ECE at UNC Charlotte since August 2019. Before that, I spent two wonderful years at Princeton's EE as a Postdoctoral Research Associate, hosted by Vince Poor. In 2017, I was fortunate to receive my PhD degree in EE under the supervision of Sennur Ulukus at the University of Maryland's ECE.
My research interests are in information theory, wireless communications, communication networks, and signal processing. Recently, I have been working on projects pertaining to
federated learning
timely information processing and transfer (age-of-information)
information-theoretic security and privacy
energy harvesting communications
