Hi, my name is Parker. I am a first-year Ph.D. student at NYU Tandon under the advisement of Dr. Elza Erkip. My research interests are at the intersection wireless communications, signal processing, and information theory. I love collaborating with others and having conversations at the blackboard. Outside of academia, I enjoy drinking coffee, playing the piano, and watching soccer.
