About Me

I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. at Virginia Tech, focusing on the advancement of localization techniques for 5G and 6G networks, with a particular emphasis on Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). My research primarily revolves around developing positioning algorithms and conducting thorough performance analysis using information inequalities. I also held two summer internship positions at Nokia, IL (Summer 2023) and Qualcomm, CA (Summer 2024).

Prior to joining VT, I was a Ph.D. student at Texas A&M University, where my research centered around the development of a Real-Time RAN Intelligent Controller for 4G and 5G systems.

Before this, I was a Lead Engineer at WiSig Networks Pvt Ltd, where I worked on the design and validation of beamforming and scheduling algorithms for 4G and 5G Massive MIMO systems.
