Houdini is the first open-access software-defined radio platform designed to simultaneously support multiple radio modules across diverse frequency bands — CBRS, X-band, Ku-band, and V-band. Its modular architecture allows multiple nodes to be combined to manage tens to hundreds of antennas, enabling experimentation in wireless networking, imaging, and sensing. Funded by NSF (CNS-2346550). I serve as Co-PI on this project.

Assistant Research Professor
I work at the intersection of computer systems and wireless networking — building programmable, intelligent infrastructure for 5G/6G and Open RAN. A common thread across my projects is algorithm and system design across FPGA, GPU, and CPU — spanning real-time massive MIMO baseband on commodity servers, many-antenna hardware platforms, and learning-driven schedulers. I am currently focused on virtualized Open RAN systems and ML-enabled RAN software design.
