Enes Krijestorac

Bio:

I received a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from New York University, Abu Dhabi in 2018, graduating summa cum laude. I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree at University of California, Los Angeles, US. My research interests include UAV assisted wireless communication, modelling of wireless communication using machine learning and distributed computing systems.
