What makes you most excited to join the Cyclone Engineering community here at Iowa State?

It offers a collaborative environment where faculty, students, and industry partners work together on impactful research and innovation that are verticals-driven. And Iowa State has a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research, e.g., wireless networking and precision agriculture.

Describe a moment that makes you particularly proud of your career path in educating tomorrow’s engineers.

It is when a master’s student I helped my advisor mentor decided to apply for a Ph.D. program despite the fact that she had a job to go back to after graduation. She shared with me her happiness and excitement of tackling real-world challenges. It helps me understand that educating engineers is not only about technical skills, but also about inspiring confidence, independence, and enthusiasm to help build a better world.

How do you hope your teaching and/or research discoveries impact the world?

I hope my research work on spectrum sharing, ML for wireless, and satellite-terrestrial integration can enable wider and more reliable and efficient connectivity. The ultimate goal is to help bridge digital divides, support mission-critical applications like search and rescue, and make the telecommunication market more open and innovative.

What kind of classroom and teaching experience do you look forward to creating at Iowa State?

I would like to create a course where students can gain a solid understanding of the wireless communication field while engaging in hands-on projects to help them understand real-world needs and whether they are truly interested in this field. It is most important to know where students’ interest roots in. In terms of teaching style, it will be interactive, collaborative, hands-on, and practical problems driven.
