I am currently a Ph.D. student in the electrical engineering department with a concentration in Arts, Media, and Engineering at Arizona State University.  I work in the areas of acoustic signal processing, and content-based audio retrieval.  I am co-advised by Profs. Harvey Thornburg and Andreas Spanias, and supported by an NSF Integrated Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT).  I also enjoy helping students learn the wonders of oscilloscopes as a teaching assistant for EEE 202. I received the B.S. and M.S. degrees from the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Colorado State University in Ft. Collins, CO, where I worked with Prof. Mahmood R. Azimi-Sadjadi.
