About Me

I am a first-year PhD student in Computer Science at Virginia Tech, advised by Dr. Shaddi Hasan. My research investigates the need for cross coordination between applications, cellular networks, and edge infrastructure to meet end-to-end SLOs in 5G systems.

Prior to Virginia Tech, I worked as a Researcher at Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz-Institut in Berlin under Dr. Julius Schulz-Zander, where I drove research within the 5G-COMPASS consortium (funded by BMDV). My work focused on MAC-layer resource allocation using supervised and reinforcement learning, and on joint WiFi/5G-ORAN integration using OpenAirInterface and FlexRIC.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (GPA: 1.47/88%, President’s List) from Jacobs University Bremen, where I began my work in WiFi resource allocation as a student assistant in the SupraCoNeX project under Dr. Thomas Hühn. I have participated in Google Summer of Code four times, twice as a contributor and twice as a mentor, working on WiFi rate and power control algorithms for freifunk.
