Postdoctoral Fellow
Ultrabroadband Nanonetworking Laboratory
Institute for the Wireless Internet of Things
Northeastern University
I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Ultrabroadband Nanonetworking Laboratory at the Institute of Wireless Internet of Things at Northeastern University, working under the supervision of Professor Josep Jornet. I am also the Co-Chair of the IEEE ComSoc Chapter, Toronto Section.
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.
