Summary
Hello! I received a Master's in Applied Science, specializing in radio-frequency engineering and further developed my knowledge in the field of electromagnetics. My background in mathematical physics has equipped me with a strong foundation in advanced mathematics, data analysis, and computational modelling. I am interested in learning more about wireless communication systems and hope to pursue a career in this area.
