About Me

I have always loved the idea that something disruptive can come simply from welcoming a difference.

I am currently pursuing my PhD in computer engineering at Mississippi State University. My research areas include O-RAN, NextG technologies, RAN Orchestration, AI/ML in O-RAN among others. I am currently involved in two NSF-funded projects:

• AERPAW NSF Award #1939334 — Overview
• OAIC NSF Award #2016724 — Overview

I also contribute to the Fedora project.
