My reserach interests focus on semiconductor device physics and modeling for RF and 5G. I obtained my PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2022, where I was advised by Shaloo Rakheja. Before joining ASU, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Columbia University, hosted by Harish Krishnaswamy.

I am an incoming assistant professor in the School of ECEE at Arizona State University starting 2023 Fall. I am looking for motivated Ph.D. and M.S. students, postdoctoral scholars, and undergraduate researchers. If you are interested, please email me with a copy of your CV to start a conversation.
