Biography
I'm a third-year Ph.D student in the Electrical Engineering Department at Stanford University. Working under the supervision of my advisor, Professor Sachin Katti, my research focuses on how future wireless devices will coexist in an increasingly dense and diverse spectral environment. Historically, radio protocols have been designed in a vacuum, without worrying about what other radios might exist and how to coexist with them. In the imminent future as spectrum becomes more and more limited, radios will no longer have this luxury. In order to observe proper spectrum etiquette, radios will need to be architected such that they are aware of who their neighbors are, what they are doing, and how to respond to them.Current Research Projects
