Brief Bio

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Carnegie Mellon University. I received my M.S.E. degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Pennsylvania and my B.E. degree in Electronics and Telecommunication from University of Pune. Between my undergraduate and graduate degrees, I worked in the Electronic Controls group of the Research Development and Engineering department at Cummins India Limited. I spent the Spring semester of 2008 as a staff at GRASP Laboratory at Penn and the Fall semester of 2009 as an intern at Bosch Research and Technology Center in Pittsburgh.
