""My research interests include the design and experimental analysis of architectures, protocols, and applications for next-generation wireless communication and sensing systems with a focus on millimeter-wave and terahertz networks, Internet of Things, robotic wireless networks, and wireless security." (ece.princeton.edu); "I made a bucket list of 30 things to do before turning 30 and have checked off many of them so far, including surfing and skydiving. The last item is to come up with a checklist of 40 things to do before reaching 40." (marconisociety.org/); “Each [robot] may have different sensing modalities, but they require sharing their sensing information in a collaborative mission,” she said. “The type of technology we are building can enable ultra-low-latency communications for time-critical missions, and also adds to the sensing modality of robots because now they can use wireless signals to sense the environment and localize other robots.” (engineering.princeton.edu); "
