Short Bio: I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Rowan University, New Jersey. Before joining Rowan in September of 2024, I was with Virginia Tech, where I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Engineering in December of 2023 and then briefly worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher as part of the Commonwealth Cyber Initiative. I am an avid traveler and have lived in Brazil, Australia, Ireland, and the US. 

My research focuses on designing, building, and evaluating wireless networks for reliability: networks that can perform under stringent performance requirements and withstand failures, attacks, and disasters. I have worked on topics such as ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC), reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), Open RAN, stochastic geometry, software-defined radios, and applied machine learning, and collaborated with initiatives such as the NextG Alliance, 6G Flagship at the University of Oulu, and AT&T Research Labs.
