As a Research Assistant, I contribute to advancing real-time communication and networking protocols focused on optimizing information freshness and overall system performance. My work includes:- Research Focus: Supporting the development of innovative communication techniques aimed at maintaining up-to-date information in inference and decision-making systems, crucial for applications in real-time environments.- Experimental Studies: Conducting experiments and simulations to assess how information freshness affects system accuracy and efficiency, contributing valuable data and insights to guide protocol design and optimization.This role has honed my technical expertise and research skills, allowing me to apply programming (MATLAB, C++, Python) and data analysis in an impactful research environment.

As a Teaching Fellow with Breakthrough Birmingham, I led classroom sessions and developed educational projects to foster student engagement and learning. Key contributions included:- Project Management: Coordinated project timelines, met critical deadlines, and managed budgetary constraints to ensure smooth project execution.- Collaboration and Communication: Worked cross-functionally with teachers, staff, and students to align on objectives, fostering a cohesive, supportive environment.- Adaptability and Problem-Solving: Navigated unexpected project changes by remaining flexible and solution-oriented, ensuring learning continuity and student success.This experience strengthened my leadership, adaptability, and communication skills, equipping me with strategies for dynamic team collaboration and effective project management in an educational setting.
