Hello! I am an Associate Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department. My expertise is in the computer engineering fields, namely embedded systems and high-performance computing, with application to biomedical engineering. Currently, I lead the Bio-inspired Computing Laboratory, working with neuroscientists and physiologists to develop methods to reverse engineer the computation that takes place in the mammalian spinal cord.
Generally, I teach ENGR 1500 (Intro to Engineering) and EE 5020 (ECE Computation) in Fall semesters, and EE 2450 (Embedded Systems Programming I) and EE 5450 (Advanced Embedded Systems) in Spring semesters. I also assist in coordination between the ECE department and the EE/ME/ET Senior Design Capstone program.
I am the advisor for the Claw Command Cybersecurity Club (and directly advise the embedded capture the flag (eCTF) team), the IEEE student branch at Cal State LA, the Robotic Dog Research Program club, and the ECST CircuitSpace (ET B105 and ET B111). I also serve as a co-advisor (along with Drs. Bachman, Blekhman, Medina, and Shahverdi) for the Charging Eagles student competition team, part of the Battery Workforce Challenge.
