About
I'm a Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering at NC State University, advised by Dr. Helen Huang. My research focuses on battery state-of-health estimation and energy management for networked microgrids.
Before starting the Ph.D., I completed my B.S. in Computer and Electrical Engineering and my M.S. in Electrical Engineering, both at NC State, and worked in RF design and project engineering roles at Longent and Siemens.

Beyond research
Outside the lab I like building things — 3D-printed parts, electronics projects, and small robots. Some of those builds are on the projects page.
