BIOGRAPHY

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering at Purdue University, Remote sensing, and Radio Navigation lab under the supervision of Dr.James Garrison.

​

My current research focuses on Earth Remote Sensing involving GNSS-R, synthetic aperture radio, and Digital Signal Processing.

​

My background also involves Plasma Physics and Process Engineering. With a particular research interest in the gas breakdown and dry etch Process development.
