About

I’m an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. My research focuses on power electronics, energy conversion, and medical devices. I’m also a visiting researcher with the Circuits Group at NVIDIA Research, where I work on power delivery for data centers. Before that, I was part of an incredible team at Apple working on the HomePod. I earned my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford in 2019.
