Hello! I am currently searching for Ph.D. positions in Electrical Engineering starting in Fall 2020. Right now I am pursuing a B.E. in Computer Engineering at Auburn University where I work as an undergraduate research assistant for Dr. Mark Adams in the Sensors, Transducers, Optics, RF, and MEMS (STORM) Lab.
While at Auburn, I have been able to assist on many projects ranging from quantum key distribution on a nano-satellite to radar vulnerability testing. For graduate school, I am interested in working with quantum electronics, specifically with optics and photonics. This area of technology is helping usher in next generation electronics, and I want to be a part of a program that is capable of bringing this change.
This past summer I was in Boston as a research intern at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Here I analyzed the impact of large wind farms on air surveillance radar as a project from the Department of Defense. While there, me and a few other interns came up with a new architecture for American Sign Language translation which received laboratory funding to continue development at the university level.
Outside of research, I give tours to prospective engineering students as well as enjoy playing board games, ranging anywhere from “Dungeons and Dragons” to “UNO”. If you would like to challenge me in checkers or contact me for any reason, feel free to shoot me an email!
