Hey! I'm Alex

I’m a final year CSE PhD student at UCSD advised by Pat Pannuto; I also work pretty closely with Aaron Schulman. My specialty lies in measurement and analysis with a particular interest in deployable, wide-area sensing systems as well as infrastructure. My current research focus lies in Internet of Things (IoT) wireless coverage to understand the flaws and successes in existing infrastructures to induce productive change for future infrastructures. Generally, I am interested in a broad range of sensing and wireless applications.

Before coming to UCSD, I completed my bachelors degree in Computer Engineering at UMass Amherst, where I worked with Jay Taneja. I am also fortunate to be supported by the NSF through the Graduate Reserach Fellowship and would be happy to share my advice with others!

When I have time, I'm usually doing one of the following: cooking, listening to music, playing tennis, swimming, biking, running, climbing, writing/journaling, or spending good time with friends :)
