Biography

I received my Bachelor of Science Degree (2008) in Electrical and Computer Engineering from University of California, Davis. Since 2008, I have been pursuing my Ph.D. degree at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of California, Davis. I'm currently a research assistant in CRISP group in UC Davis.

My research interests include statistical signal processing, differential geometry and its applications in signal processing, decentralized network control and adaptive parameter estimation, and adaptation and learning over complex networks.
