I'm an associate professor at University of Nebraska Lincoln (UNL). My research focuses on cyber-physical systems (CPS) and internet-of-things (IoT), with applications to batteries, vehicles, and industrial control systems. Before joining UNL, I worked as an assistant professor at University of Colorado Denver (2017-2024), research fellow at University of Michigan (2015-2017), and research scientist at Singapore University of Technology & Design (2012-2014). I co-founded Batteries beyond Batteries (BBB).

Notes to Prospective Students
- We publish papers, but papers are by no means the most important outcomes of your training or research.
- The #1 technical skill you want to master is the ability to identify and solve a problem that excites both yourself and others. For use/application-driven research, it would be even more advantageous if the problem holds practical value.
- Even more important than the technical skills, the primary objective of your training is to develop the capacity to optimistically navigate an immensely stressful process, such as a PhD, and derive enjoyment from it.
- To successfully undertake the training outlined in items 2 and 3, you must be motivated to push your boundaries by submitting your best work to the most competitive venues for potential publication, and then we circle back to item 1.
- Researchers often collaborate, but it's crucial for students to be trained in a way that equips them to independently complete a project.
