Get to Know Me
Something that excites me in my field...
New wireless technologies improve services but surface new challenges that need to be resolved.
How I’d capture the essence of my work in a newspaper headline...
Wireless technologies satisfy the data, security, and mobility demands of wireless and mobile applications.
Something I learned in my research this year that surprised me...
The near perfectness of technologies in the presence of unresolved underlying issues within its foundations.
I first discovered my passion for this work...
When I visited University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign immediately after completing my bachelors in computer engineering as a visiting scholar.
I find the most joy in my work when...
I work with a team that takes the challenge head-on.
The book currently on my nightstand...
The Survivors
My favorite quote...
"Be honest without thought of hell or heaven."
