Service
Service to graduate students, the control community, and scholarly publishing.
Service is an important part of my academic work. My current efforts focus on representing graduate students at UMBC, helping build an international community for early-career researchers in control systems, and contributing to scholarly publishing through peer review.
Graduate Student Association at UMBC
My involvement with the UMBC Graduate Student Association has developed from college-level representation to executive leadership. I began as a senator representing the College of Natural and Mathematical Sciences, later served as Vice President, and now serve as President.
Across these roles, I have worked to represent graduate-student perspectives in university governance, strengthen communication between students and campus leadership, and support the GSA's broader work in advocacy, community building, and access to graduate-student resources.
My shared-governance and committee service has included membership on the University Steering Committee, Classroom Committee, Graduate Student Organizations Committee, and Graduate Assistant Advisory Committee. These appointments have provided opportunities to bring graduate-student concerns into discussions about university policy, classroom resources, student organizations, and graduate assistant experiences.

IEEE Control Systems Society NextCom
IEEE CSS NextCom was formed during the 2023 IEEE Conference on Decision and Control to support students, early-career researchers, and young professionals as they become more active members of the control-systems community. I joined the committee during its founding period as its Virtual Ambassador.
From 2023 through 2025, I served as Virtual Ambassador, helping the new committee communicate with a geographically distributed community. In 2025, I transitioned to the role of General Activities Co-Chair. In this position, I contribute to the planning and coordination of activities intended to help early-career researchers connect, exchange ideas, and participate more fully in the IEEE Control Systems Society.
Peer-review service
I contribute to the mathematical and control-systems communities by reviewing journal articles, conference submissions, and research summaries.
