Since my teenage years I have always set unusually large goals, giving me the adrenaline infusion to overcome the inevitable trials and tribulations that come with achieving any goal.
By far the biggest of these goals was embarking on a PhD journey at age 20. A few years later, at 23 years of age, my time at the University of Central Florida has come to an end, as I graduate with a Doctoral Degree in Electrical Engineering. I am grateful for the numerous experiences and the accomplishments during this journey under the advisement of Dr. Yeonwoong (Eric) Jung
