I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Computer Engineering from NC State under the supervision of Dr. Wenye Wang at the NetWIS lab. My research interests lie in the area of wireless networks, including measurement, analysis, modeling of spectrum tenancy data, and dynamic spectrum access enabled by machine learning.
