We are your Graduate Student Advisory Committee (GSAC) and we are here to improve the ECE department and graduate student experience! Please reach out to us with any concerns you may have. Alternatively, you can submit anonymous feedback to the department through the Student Feedback Form.

I am a researcher in Dr. Jacob George’s NeuroRobotics Lab. My research centers around the development of a smartwatch that uses muscle signals to detect and classify hand gestures for smart home control. I hope to one day be a professor and continue my research in brain-computer interfaces.

As a member of the Utah Smart Energy Lab under Dr. Masood Parvania, I research power systems operations. Specifically, I am interested in how advanced operations can create a more sustainable, equitable, and resilient power grid. I have entrepreneurship and software development experience, as well.

I am a first-year PhD student in Dr. Jacob George’s Neurorobotics Lab. I have a B.S.E in Computer Engineering and am pursing my PhD in Electrical Engineering. I am interested in applying machine learning to develop more robust control algorithms for Brain-Computer Interfaces

I am interested in how electricity and electronics can help humans obtain a higher quality of life, particularly for those who suffer from neurological injuries or disorders. I am excited to be at the University of Utah to explore how neural engineering can attack some of these feared diagnoses through myoelectric robotic control and direct simulation.

I’m a PhD student in the Optics & Imaging Lab, under the guidance of Dr. Rajesh Menon. I have a degree in Computer Engineering and 10+ years of professional experience in software development. This blend of theoretical understanding and practical expertise forms a strong foundation for my innovative research work.
