I currently work at Aeva Inc developing algorithms for next-generation LIDAR sensors.
Before joining Aeva, I completed my PhD in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, where I was advised by Prof. Joseph Kahn. My research focused on the design and optimization of power-constrained optical communication systems. My publications have received over 400 citations. During my time at Stanford, I also had the opportunity to teach two graduate-level courses: Digital Signal Processing and Adaptive Signal Processing.
I’m driven by challenging problems and like to work in collaborative environments. My professional interests lie at the intersection of sensing, communications, and perception.
