About me
I am an Assistant Professor at Purdue University in the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. I direct the WISDOM Lab within Purdue ECE.
My research broadly focuses on theoretical analysis and modeling to hardware implementations and experimental evaluations of architectures, protocols, and applications for Next-Generation wireless communication and sensing systems, focusing on the Millimeter-wave and Terahertz spectrum. The research is multi-disciplinary, cutting across electromagnetics and antennas to protocol design, algorithm, signal processing, and end-to-end systems. I strive to combine theory and experimentation to motivate, develop, and validate my research, with the hope of impacting real-world wireless systems.
I am also interested in all aspects of wireless security, robotic wireless networks, the internet of Things, cellular & UAV/drone networks, AI for network management and control, mathematical modeling, and protocol design for next-generation wireless networks (5G+, 6G and beyond), and information theory and coding.

Before joining Purdue, I received my Ph.D. from Rice University in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in December 2022, advised by Prof. Edward Knightly.
Prospective Students:
We are currently recruiting hardworking individuals who are interested in working in the areas of wireless systems, next-generation networks (6G and beyond), wireless security, and smart wireless connectivity to join our WISDOM Lab at Purdue ECE.
If you are a prospective graduate student interested in joining our lab, please do the following:
- Send me a brief email with your CV attached. If you are debating between M.S. or Ph.D., please include that in your email.
- Apply to the ECE program at Purdue by following the Purdue application process. The application deadline is December 1. Include my name in your application.
If you are currently an undergraduate or master’s student at Purdue interested in doing research during the academic year or over the summer, please email me, and we can arrange a time to meet and discuss potential projects.
