Hey, I'm Priyank πŸ‘‹

I am an Assistant Professor in the ECE department at the Acopian Engineering Center at Lafayette College, and graduated from the University of Toledo in Ohio with a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering, and a M.S. and a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Purdue University in Indiana. I have also previously served as a Clinical Systems Engineer at The Christ Hospital for Renovo Solutions in Cincinnati and as a Telemetry Developer Intern at Philips North America in Cleveland. I was most recently nominated for the prestigious IUPUI Elite 50 award and have published two award winning research papers, two thesis and five research journals. My activities are much beyond my stream of education and research. ⚑ Outside of academia, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. During the warmer months here in Pennsylvania, I enjoy mountain biking, hiking, free climbing, kayaking and traveling with friends and family. When forced indoors, I like to watch sci-fi, thriller and sitcom genre movies and TV shows.
