I am currently a 5th year (final) year Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at New Jersey Institute of Technology, advised by Prof. Cristian Borcea. I am interested in Machine Learning, Mobile Computing, and IoT. I build real-world efficient machine learning systems encompassing mobile and IoT devices. Currently, my research focuses on Federated Learning Systems. I received an MS in Computer Science from NJIT in 2016.
