Welcome to my website. I'm currently a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow with the Laboratory for Soft Bioelectronic Interfaces (LSBI) at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) Campus Biotech in Geneva, Switzerland.
I completed my Ph.D. as a National Science Graduate Research Fellow in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Washington (UW).
My research focuses on the development of wireless brain-computer interfaces, exploring how architectural innovation in embedded systems can reduce the size, weight, and power consumption of wireless systems and enable new methods for monitoring and treating neurological disorders.
To achieve these ends, I investigate novel applications of electromagnetic theory, ultra-low power wireless embedded systems, and electronic instrumentation for extreme environments.
Outside of research, I'm passionate about teaching, outreach, and mentoring. At UW, I had the opportunity to work as the instructor of record for EE417-Wireless Communications in 2020 and 2021 and as a teaching assistant over six academic quarters. I also co-host a scicomm podcast, The Paperboys, with fellow UW grad student Charlie Kelly. Each episode, we read and discuss the research papers behind headline science news.
