Education
PhD Virginia Tech 2001

Being a faculty member is a privilege through which I can teach and mentor many students. My area of expertise is in computer engineering. More specifically, I conduct research in the area of AI, digital health, autonomous vehicles, and wireless communications. I teach computer engineering courses at all levels from transistors, gates, circuits, processors, to computer systems. 

Prior to joining WPI in 2006, I was a member of the technical staff at the Bell Labs of Lucent Technologies. I have also been a visiting professor at Brown University (2021-2022), a research fellow at MIT (2024-2025) and an affiliated faculty at Broad Institute. 

I lead the Embedded Computing Lab at WPI, where we aim to solve important engineering problems using creative ideas, architectures, models, and designs. Our mission is to build a better and more efficient world through research and innovations.

Local Researchers Create More Freedom For Amputees With New Prosthetic Devices

This story features WPI-developed prosthetic technology. The work is aimed at providing better prosthetics options for injured soldiers and others with transradial amputations who have found it difficult or impossible to perform a wide range of daily tasks with current one-degree-of-freedom hand-wrist prostheses.
