I am a Ph.D. candidate at Columbia University, where I conduct research in the Wireless & Mobile Networking (WiMNet) Lab, advised by Prof. Gil Zussman. My work focuses on next-generation wireless communications, particularly the design of adaptive full-duplex wireless systems to meet increasing demands for capacity and spectral efficiency. I am currently supported by the NDSEG Fellowship as I pursue my research goals.

I earned my Bachelor’s and Master's degrees in Electrical Engineering from The Cooper Union in 2020 and 2021, as part of the Integrated 4+ Degree Program. Before shifting my focus to wireless systems, I briefly explored topics in medical and biomedical engineering.

Beyond academia, I spend my time connecting with my Jewish cultural heritage, visiting museums, and experimenting at the grill. Whether I’m troubleshooting RF hardware or slow-roasting over charcoal, I bring the same curiosity and attention to detail to each pursuit.

Let’s connect! I welcome collaboration and conversation.
