I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Eastern New Mexico University. I received my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University at Buffalo in 2024. My work includes teaching undergraduate courses in Electronics Engineering Technology and conducting research in communication systems, signal processing, and engineering applications.
