What I'm looking for

I seek research-focused engineering roles applying time-frequency analysis and deep learning to radar, medical, or speech signal problems in a collaborative, publication-oriented environment with mentorship opportunities.

I am a PhD electrical engineer specializing in time-frequency distribution design and its application in signal processing.

My doctoral research produced methods for improved time-frequency representations and instantaneous frequency estimation; I have published in IEEE Transactions and IEEE Signal Processing Letters and presented at national conferences.

I have experience as a teaching assistant for Estimation Theory, Radar Systems, Electronic Circuits, and Random Processes, and I have worked on radar signal feature extraction and classification projects.

I program primarily in Python and MATLAB, and I apply deep learning, convex optimization, and advanced DSP to problems in radar, speech, medical signals, and fault detection; I seek roles that combine research, development, and collaboration.
