About Me

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department at Rutgers University–New Brunswick, advised by Abdeslam Boularias. Before joining Rutgers, I worked closely with Erdem Biyik. I received my M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from UC San Diego, where I was fortunate to work with Hao Su and Pengtao Xie. Prior to that, I earned a B.S. with a double major in Computer Science and Mathematics from UW–Madison, where I worked with Vikas Singh.
