I am a Ph.D. candidate in electrical engineering, an instructor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), and a research assistant with the Center for Wireless Information Processing (CWiP) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), Newark, NJ.
My research interests include wireless communication, signal processing, statistical inference, estimation and detection theories, underwater acoustic sensors, and dictionary learning for blind signal detection.- R.
