Education
2016-
Current
Ph.D.: Interdisciplinary Telecommunication Research University of Colorado At Boulder/College of
Engineering And Applied Science - Boulder, CO
• A Ph.D. candidate in the Technology,
Cybersecurity, and Policy (TCP) Program (formerly
known as the Interdisciplinary Telecom Program (ITP))
• Investigating telecom system issues through an inter- disciplinary approach involving engineering, policy or law, and economics.
• My dissertation examines how virtualization, slicing, and mmWave in the 5G RAN of the small cell case
would aid in the sharing and utilization of scarce re- sources in general, and spectrum resources in particu- lar.
• The Dissertation will also look at these technologies in the context of current public policy and economic
theories.
• The dissertation would then recommend policies to improve access to mmWave resources and facilitate
the deployment of 5G small cells.
