My work in the Virtualization, Multimedia, and Networking (VIMAN) Lab is focused on creating solutions for autonomous drones. We're currently working on a route generation software for package delivery using drones and delivery trucks using reinforcement learning (RL) with a Deep Q-Network (DQN). Additionally, I run experiments on the NSF-funded Aerial Experimentation and Research Platform for Advanced Wireless (AERPAW) testbed, which facilitates experiments with autonomous drones and 5G networks.
Last summer (2024), I interned at the University of Chicago under Dr. Kate Keahey as part of an NSF Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. I leveraged their FLOTO platform for broadband data collection to conduct 5G experiments on the Agricultural and Rural Wireless (ARA) testbed. Specifically, I measured their network's capabilities and deployed a six-node Hadoop cluster over a six-mile diameter to prototype a distributed computing setup over 5G.
