Short Biography

I received a Bach. of Elec. Eng. degree from Northeastern Uiversity in Boston, MA in June 2001, and a Sc.M. degree in September 2003 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Currently I am pursuing a Ph.D. degree in Elec. Eng. at M.I.T. as a research assistant in the Stochastic Systems Group within the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems under the supervision of Prof. Alan Willsky.
