About
I am an Electrical Engineering graduate from New York University Abu Dhabi. With a focus on Wireless Communications, I am dedicated to understanding the ways in which the field can interconnect the world wirelessly. To better equip myself with a wide variety of skillset, I have also greatly involved myself in Electronics, Machine Learning, and Quantum Computing to aid my academic and professional journey in Wireless.
