About me
I am a fourth-year PhD student in the School of ECE at Cornell University. My advisor is Prof. Salman Avestimehr and I am part of the Foundations of Information Engineering (FoIE) group. I received my B.S. in Mathematics and ECE from the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, in Worcester, MA, in 2009. I spent the summer of 2011 as an intern at HP Labs, in Palo Alto, CA.
Research Interests
I am interested in problems in Network Information Theory, particularly related to multi-user, multi-hop wireless networks.
Awards
