OBJECTIVE
Seeking a position (full-time, part-time or internship) that would utilize my problem solving skills, strong educational background, and inherent ability to quickly learn and adapt to various environments. I am interested in a variety of fields including (but not limited to) EM wave propagation, wireless communications, statistics, systems, and programming.
