I have earned my PhD from the Biomimetics Research Laboratory at UCLA, focusing on circuit and system design for neural interfaces. My previous work experience was in integrated circuit design for airborne and near-space radars. I am currently interested in all types of integrated circuit and system designs for both neural interfaces and radars. I find that these seemingly distinct topics have much overlap.
