Wireless systems · RF sensing · Edge intelligence

I am a Senior Wireless Engineer at Comcast, working at the intersection of wireless systems, applied machine learning, and edge/cloud intelligence. My team and I developed an edge/cloud model for Wi-Fi health monitoring and optimal channel/band recommendation. My broader work connects gateway and client telemetry to video-conferencing and streaming quality through measurement-driven modeling and controlled validation.

Previously, I was a Research Scientist and Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), where I worked on intelligent ground-penetrating radar in the USDA-funded SoilX project. Before WPI, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Houston, working on wireless security and robust learning with over-the-air software-defined-radio evaluation.

I received my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Shiraz University of Technology. My doctoral research developed optimization-based radar imaging from undersampled measurements using low-rank and sparse representations.

My research agenda connects these foundations through physical and agentic AI at the edge: systems that use RF measurements and wireless-health information to interpret their environment, decide what to sense or compute next, and evaluate the effects of their actions.
