Hi there!
I am a Ph.D Student in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences Department at UC Berkeley. My research interests are in making low-power electronics. Specifically, I am working on designing and testing energy efficient micro-electro-mechanical (MEM) switches. I am advised by Prof. Tsu-Jae King Liu, and I also collaborate with Prof. Vladimir Stojanovic. My research is supported in part by the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.
I graduated in 2015 from the University of Toronto, where I studied Engineering Science with a major in Electrical and Computer Engineering. During my undergrad studies, I worked with Prof. Sorin Voinigescu to investigate the design of tunneling field effect transistors (TFETs). I also worked with Prof. Jason Zhang at the University of Ottawa on a method to purify water using a special light-activated coating.
