About Me

 

I am a research assistant at George Mason University working with Dr. Nathalia Peixoto in Neural Engineering Lab.

I received my Associate of Science in Electrical Engineering from Northern Virginia Community College in 2005.  In Spring of 2005 I joined George Mason University and received my Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering in 2007.  While pursuing my Master I worked as a graduate research and teaching assistant at George Mason University’s Electrical and Computer Engineering department.

I have earned my Master of Science on August 2009 in Electrical Engineering with special interest in Controls & Robotics.  I have been featured as "Brother of Invention" by GMU in Time & Newsweek magazines for my invention of Hum-power Controller for powered wheelchairs (patent pending) for my thesis project.
