I am currently a 5th year PhD student at Northeastern University, working under Prof. Purnima Ratilal in the Laboratory for Underwater Acoustic Remote Sensing. My research interests are underwater active and passive remote sensing, wave theory, signal processing, and statistical methods. Previously, I was a research engineer designing analog and mixed signal circuits at the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Singapore. I obtained by Bachelor of Engineering with First Class Honours from Nanyang Technological University.
