Hi, I’m Robert! Originally from Maryland, I now find myself amidst cornfields studying how to most effectively turn rocks into computers. I graduated from UIUC with a Bachelor’s in Computer Engineering + Highest Honors in three years and am currently pursuing an MS in ECE. I am advised by Prof. Rakesh Kumar.
