I received my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. I was a research assistant in the Wireless Networking and Communication Group (WNCG), advised by Prof. Evdokia Nikolova.
My research interests are combinatorial optimization and approximation algorithms with a special focus on applications in energy systems.
