A fixed base-station antenna system combining directional and omnidirectional elements in a MIMO configuration, designed to give self-healing mesh networks reliable coverage where conventional infrastructure fails — base stations that keep disaster-response communications linked when cellular and wired networks are down. Developed as independent R&D on a mesh-networking project.

Proposes a distributed-ledger framework for space situational awareness: satellite operators, space agencies, and independent observers share and verify space-debris tracking data without a central authority. Examines how a tamper-evident, multi-party trust model fits the collaboration problem at the heart of SSA — everyone benefits from shared orbital data, but no single party is trusted to own it.

Decentralized Search Engine for Data Marketplace using IPFS
M.S. research · USC, with Prof. Bhaskar Krishnamachari · 2020
Graduate research on building a decentralized search engine for a data marketplace on IPFS — indexing and discovering datasets across a peer-to-peer network with no central index to censor, rank, or fail. Explored how content-addressed storage changes the search problem, and what a marketplace needs (discovery, integrity, provenance) when both the data and the index are distributed.
