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.
