I am an Assistant Professor in Electrical & Computer Engineering at Yale University.  

My research interests lie in sensing and mobile technologies with applications in wireless networking, cyber-physical systems (including robotics), and human-computer interaction (HCI). I develop algorithms and build systems for multi-modal sensing to connect, perceive, and interact with the environment in novel ways to enable more efficient, more robust, and more capable mobile, cyber-physical, and cyber-human systems. 

My research has been recognized by the Marconi Society Young Scholar award, the Microsoft Research PhD fellowship, the Best Paper Award in IEEE RFID, and the Best Paper Finalist in ACM SenSys and MobiSys. It was chosen as one of the Top 10 AI trends to watch for by The Wall Street Journal and as one of “103 ways MIT is making the world better” by MIT. My research has been covered by multiple news outlets including the BBC, the Boston Globe, and the World Economic Forum. 

I have built live real-time demos of my systems and demonstrated them to over 100 companies. My research has led to multiple patents that have been licensed to a start-up, Cartesian Systems, which has already deployed them to solve problems in retail and supply chain. 

Before joining Yale as a faculty, I received my Masters and PhD degree from MIT. I had the privilege to be advised by Fadel Adib.
