Short bio

I am currently working as a post-doctoral research scientist at the IIJ Innovation Institute Inc in Tokyo, Japan. In December 2016, I completed my PhD in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Northwestern University. During my studies, I worked under Professor Fabián Bustamante as a member of AquaLab. I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering with a minor in Japanese Language and Culture from Northwestern University in spring of 2009.
