Current and Previous Experience
My research experience began while I was at the University of Houston. As an undergrad, I participated in research to make ends meet and to gain experience working in related fields of electromagnetics, my favorite subject at the time. When it came time to graduate, I was convinced that research was the best path for me. Not only did I enjoy getting a deeper knowledge in the subject of study, but I felt like I was able to make a big impact on society through transformative research. Plus, I liked working on the cutting edge of technology. Below I list some of my various research positions, their corresponding titles, and a brief list of my research topics over the last few years. I also have expanded sections of my research interests in the side menu.
