RESEARCH AND TEACHING

My Passion for Learning, Research and Teaching

I have always been interested in electronics and devices. Computers have been a huge part of my life since I was in grade 2. After high school, I decide to pursue my higher education in the field of technology. I completed my B.Tech in Electronics and Communications Engineering from India in 2016 and then moved to USA for Masters. I received MS in Electrical Engineering from University of Central Florida in 2018. By then, I had started showing keen interest in wireless communications and I was offered a research position at the NWSL.

As an enthusiastic and devoted Research Associate, I have spent time learning and mastering the concepts of wireless communications through my research, relevant coursework and guidance of my advisor. I am currently working as a part of NSF funded project (award #2006683) that focuses on Directional Software Defined Radios (DSDR). Directional radios are key to high frequency mmWave and THz communications. I work on optimizing beam steering angles and transmit power levels of directional mmWave antennas. My research interests lie in optimizing various parameters in a wireless antenna coalition structure to improve the overall SINR, apply game theoretic concepts for forming such coalitions, and apply various optimizing heuristics like Genetic Algorithm to find stable directional antenna coalitions in terms of optimal beams steering angles and high coalitional throughput. Another interesting area that I am currently investigating is the effect on these coalitions if adversarial radio nodes are present.

I have also served as a graduate teaching assistant at UCF and taught various labs like Linear circuits 1, Electronics 1, Electronics 2 etc.

I try to remain active in the research community by volunteering in the organization of renowned conferences like INFOOM 2020 and CONEXT 2020 at UCF. For exceptional performance in my research curriculum, I have been awarded Graduate Research Support Award and Graduate Presentation Fellowship by UCF.
