I am a Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering at Arizona State University where I work under Prof. Ahmed Alkhateeb in the Wireless Intelligence Lab. My research focuses on building Large Wireless Models, digital twins, and dataset similarity frameworks that enable practical generalization across communication and sensing tasks.

I currently lead the Large Wireless Model (LWM) effort, which spans scalable data generation pipelines, sparse spatio-temporal attention architectures, and transfer evaluation suites.

research interests

  • Foundation models for wireless communication and sensing
  • Digital twin construction, applications, and calibration
  • Asymmetric task-specific/agnostic dataset similarity frameworks
  • Environmental perception for wireless sensing and digital twins
