About
I am a Research Assistant Professor with the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative (CCI), headquartered at Virginia Tech. My main research interests include open radio access networks, radio virtualization, network slicing, and network orchestration. I have been researching these fields since 2017, when I started my Ph.D. in Electronic & Electrical Engineering. My research experience includes developing software-defined radio systems, implementing radio virtualization mechanisms, and bridging SDR with SDN in support of programmable end-to-end communication networks customized to serve different use cases and applications.
