About me

I am an Associate Professor at Louisiana Tech University. Before joining Louisiana Tech, I was a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University.

My research interests include information theory, distributed consensus, blockchain, and machine learning.

I am organizing ECE research seminars. If you are interested in giving a talk, please let me know.

Check out our paper, where an open problem of Byzantine agreement is solved using coding theory and graph theory.

I am also serving as a youth soccer coach. Our team keeps an unbeaten record in all games this season.

Check out some of our animated videos for STEM education and outreach.
