About Me
I am a doctoral student in the Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Group in the Electrical & Computer Engineering Department at Rice University. My research interests lie in the areas of statistical signal processing theory (quantization, distributed systems, detection theory), information theory and information processing theory. My advisor is Don Johnson.
I received my B.S. degree from the University of Notre Dame in 1993 and my M.S. degree from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1996 both in electrical engineering. From 1996-1999 I served in the U.S. Air Force. I was stationed at the Space and Missile Systems Center, Test and Evaluation Directorate, Kirkland AFB NM from 1996-1998 and subsequently assigned to the National Air Intelligence Center (NAIC), Wright-Patterson AFB OH. In August 2000, I joined the ECE Dept at Rice University as a PhD student. In the summer of 2003 I interned at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, MA and on 12 April 2005, after couple years of sporting a yellowish tint, I successfully underwent my kidney transplantation at The Methodist Hospital, Houston, TX.
