Thank you for taking the time to explore my web pages. I appreciate your interest in my research and the activities of our group. Due to the high volume of emails I receive from prospective students, it’s challenging to respond personally to each inquiry. I apologize for providing this general response and appreciate your understanding.
Prospective Graduate Students: Working with outstanding graduate students is one of the most rewarding aspects of my role at UIC. Admission to the ECE department is based on merit, with applications reviewed by the department's Graduate Admissions Committee. I am particularly interested in working with students who are eager to pursue a Ph.D. I seek candidates who submit thoughtful personal statements aligned with the goals of the wireless communication lab, possess unique backgrounds and experiences, and receive strong recommendations from trusted colleagues whose work I respect. I value applicants who have demonstrated a mature approach to academics, maintain strong grades (and acceptable GRE scores), and, ideally, have prior research experience or publications. Most importantly, I am drawn to students who are self-motivated, resilient, and unafraid to make mistakes in their pursuit of excellence..
Prospective Postdoctoral Fellows: Postdoctoral fellows in my laboratory are hired for specific grant funded positions. There are no such positions available unless there is a current posting on the NICEST web page.
