Brief Biography

I am a PhD candidate in Electrical Engineering at the University of Southern California. My advisor is Bhaskar Krishnamachari and I am a member of the Autonomous Networks Research Group, which is a part of the Communication Sciences Institute.I received my Bachelor of Engineering (with first class honors) and Master of Engineering (with distinction) from the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, both in Electrical Engineering. I work on the broad areas of wireless networks, information theory and code design for wireless communication systems.
