I am an Assistant Professor with the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Eastern New Mexico University (ENMU). I received my Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from University at Buffalo in 2024. I focus on research and technology transfer in space-air-ground networking, new spectrum technologies and software and testbed design for future networks.
