Formalized Curiosity.

I am a graduate student at Univerisity of Nebraska in Lincoln in the department of Computer Science and Engineering. I spend my days (and nights) working in the department's Cyber-Physical Networking Lab under the direction of Dr. Mehmet C. Vuran. My area of research is primarly in embedded systems and wireless sensor networks. I also have interest in simulation, software development and software testing.

When I am not saving the world through my work, I like to tinker and design my own projects. These projects range from UAVs to Mobile Applications.

I am recently married to Allison (formerly Allison Leapley). Even with the advancements in data storage technology, there is not enough storage space to describe her. She essentially puts up with everything that comes with my research and work, and I owe her indefinitely. At a functional level, without her I am pretty sure I would be less productive, hungry and possibly smell bad.
