Biography
Arjun Singh was born in Kanpur, India, in 1994. He received his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from University at Buffalo, The state University of New York in 2016 and 2018, respectively. He was awarded the prestigious presidential fellowship from the University in 2016, for outstanding excellence and prospective career potential. Since 2018, he has been pursuing his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, under the guidance of Dr. Josep M. Jornet. He transferred to Northeastern University with his research team and faculty advisor in 2019.
He interned in Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited, India and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, India, as an Electrical Engineering Intern in the summer of 2014 and 2015, respectively.
His research interests include wireless communication systems and devices, THz-band communications, and graphene plasmonics. He is also a national level chess player, avid language learner and a regular community service volunteer.
