Welcome to my homepage.

I am currently a Senior Engineer at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. from May 2021. In summer 2020, I joined Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Corporate Research & Development (CRD) as a summer intern. In summer 2019, I was an intern in Docomo Innovations, Inc.. I completed my PhD in Electrical and Computer engineering department in North Carolina State University. My research was supervised by Prof. Huaiyu Dai and Prof. Ismail Guvenc. My research interest is mainly developing mathematically tractable models of cellular networks using the tools of optimization, machine learning and game theory. Recently, I have conducted research in robustness/security of deep image classifiers which resulted in publication of GeoDA in CVF/IEEE CVPR 2020 and CGBA in IEEE ICCV 2023 .

Research Interests

• Robustness of deep neural networks
