About azaydak

Recently finished my PhD and new to the SF Bay Area. I enjoy working in the fields of inertial navigation, GPS jamming / spoofing, machine learning, vision-based systems, android development, and any other random topic that catches my eyes. Currently I work at a small startup. I spend the little free time that I do have running, biking, and hiking.
