About

Currently I work as a staff engineer at Samsung Research America. I have expertise in wireless networks with a strong math, programming, engineering and leadership background. Experience with complex hardware and firmware level projects and passionate about working on new and challenging ideas. In-depth understanding of various wireless standards (including but not limited to 802.11be/ad/ay/ac/ax, LTE), MAC protocol design and analysis, hands-on experience on SDR platforms such as WARP and Iris and expertise in designing library modules for network simulator softwares such as ns 3. I also have a good understanding of TCP/IP, cross-layer protocol design (PHY/MAC/IP layers), PHY techniques (including but not limited to OFDM, OFDMA and MIMO).
