I received my B.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering (with a minor in Mathematics) from the Pennsylvania State University in 2003. I was ranked first out of 335 electrical engineering undergraduates, with a GPA of 4.0/4.0. I am also a graduate of the Schreyer Honors College, which oversees the Honors Program at Penn State University. In April 2003, I was the recipient of the highly prestigious Evan Pugh Scholar Award (upper 0.5 percent of class).

I am currently pursuing a PhD degree in Electrical Engineering at Penn State. I work in the Microsystems Design Laboratory (MDL) in the Computer Science and Engineering Department. My research advisors are Dr. Vijaykrishnan Narayanan and Dr. Mary Jane Irwin.
