Google Scholar Profile


I am a Software Engineer at Waymo. I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley in summer 2018, advised by Prof. Randy Katz and Prof. David Culler. At Berkeley, I was in the Building, Energy, Transportation Systems group. My research interests are in the areas of sensor systems, networking, and applications, such as indoor localization, mobile augmented reality, and smart buildings.
