Aloha!

I am currently a Ph.D. Candidate (ABD) in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. My research interests center on applied electromagnetics and span the engineering design process⸺from theory and simulation to fabrication and measurement.

My recent work focuses on investigating non-reciprocal antennas and developing accompanying analytical models.

I was born and raised on the windward side of O'ahu, Hawai'i, and earned my B.S. in Electrical Engineering at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa. I am a proud first-generation college student and National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow.
