I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Ultrabroadband Nanonetworking Laboratory at the Institute of Wireless Internet of Things at Northeastern University, working under the supervision of Professor Josep Jornet.
My research spans terahertz communication, nano-bio interactions, and advanced sensing systems, with applications in wireless communications, bio-computing, and hybrid cyber-biological systems. Bridging theoretical modeling with experimental design using the TeraNova platform, I focus on creating systems that enable seamless interaction between biological and engineered components. My work aims to advance nano-communication and sensing by developing robust, intelligent interfaces that integrate biological processes with computational technologies.
I have been selected as one of 10 Rising Stars in Computer Networking and Communications worldwide by N2WOMEN: Rising Stars in Networking & Communications, 2024 .
I have been selected as one of MIT Technology Review's "Innovators Under 35: Middle East and North Africa (MENA)" for 2023.
I have successfuly defended my PhD thesis in September 2023.
