Bio

My research is at the convergence of communication networks, computer engineering, cybersecurity, and machine learning. I have explored wireless sensor network design, device fingerprinting, side-channel analysis, and intrusion detection. I am passionate about building real-world hardware and software systems incorporating security, efficiency, and intelligence. In addition to my research, I am an experienced educator, having taught at universities in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

Currently Teaching

EEET-332
1 Credit
MATLAB is introduced and used extensively to analyze circuits on continuous-time and discrete-time systems. PSPICE is utilized for circuit simulation.
EEET-551
3 Credits
Wireless, digital point-to-point communication systems require a wide array of technologies, some analog (such as antennas, amplifiers, mixers) and some digital (filters, equalizers, decoders, etc.). The course emphasizes system-level and component-level analyses of a complete transceiver operating on a fading channel. Fundamental concepts, classical techniques, and some state-of-the-art advances are presented. These concepts are illustrated with hands-on activities using software-defined radio. Students may not take and receive credit for this course if they have already taken TCET-551.
