My academic interests lie at the intersection of wireless communication and signal processing. As a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical Engineering at UMBC, I am investigating innovative localization strategies for underwater networks using air-to-water visible light communication. My research involves developing algorithms and simulation frameworks to enhance positioning accuracy of submerged nodes, with a broader goal of advancing underwater communication infrastructure. Additionally, I have contributed to healthcare technology through signal analysis of physiological data from wearable sensors, reinforcing my interest in applying engineering principles to multidisciplinary challenges.
