Nathaniel Furman
Electrical Engineering PhD Student
I am a current researcher and learner at the University of California, Irvine working towards a PhD in Electrical Engineering with an expected graduation year of 2025. I earned my M.S. in Engineering from UCI in 2022. I am interested in collaborations between groups and I welcome inquiries into my work. The work of my group can be found here.
