About PI

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Texas Arlington (UTA) since Fall 2023. I also oversee the Transformative Wireless Systems and Technology (TWiST) lab at UTA. Prior to this, I was a Research Scientist at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Northeastern University since 2020. During that time, I was associated with Next Generation Networks and Systems (GENESYS) lab, directed by Prof. Kaushik Roy Chowdhury. I received my PhD degree in Computer Science in Spring 2020 from the Department of Computer Science, University of Central Florida. I also received Master of Science (Spring 2018) in Computer Science from the same university [CV] [UTA Profile].
