About Me

Graduate Research Assistant

As a Graduate Research Assistant at the WINGS Lab, University of Minnesota Twin Cities, I work on the UnionLabs and AirTwinX projects. UnionLabs is an open, cloud-native federation of heterogeneous testbeds that supports next-generation wireless and IoT experimentation across SDR, IoT, and UAV infrastructures. I contribute to developing its integrated platform architecture, combining frontend and backend systems to provide seamless access to distributed testbeds and cloud resources. AirTwinX is a high-fidelity digital-twin framework that bridges real-world UAV experimentation with GPU-accelerated wireless simulation. I develop integrated platforms that simulate UAV dynamics and environmental geometry, compute channel impulse responses (CIRs) for each transmitter–receiver pair, and enable hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) execution for autonomous aerial mobility research.
