Profile

Welcome! I am a 2nd-year Ph.D. student (08/2024 - ) in Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where my advisor is Prof. Narendra Ahuja. Before that, I was fortunate to work with Volodymyr Kindratenko during my master’s program at UIUC. I am seeking full-time Research intern opportunities in the 2026 summer. Happy to discuss potential fits.
