Academic Genealogy
Beginning with my generation, this page traces my doctoral-advisor lineage through Dr. Sheikh Iqbal Ahamed and earlier generations in computing and electrical engineering.
9 generations · Advisor and mentor lineageMy doctoral advisor
Dr. Ahamed advised my PhD in Computer Science at Marquette University. Under his guidance, I developed research connecting artificial intelligence, pervasive computing, mobile health, and cognitive signal analysis.
My dissertation, defended on July 3, 2026, is titled EchoBrain: Quantum and AI-Enhanced EEG and Infrasound Analysis for Comprehensive Brain Function Assessment through Cognitive Signals.

Industrial mentorship · not doctoral supervisionSource & method
Generations 08 through 02 follow the advisor relationships documented by Marquette University’s Ubicomp Lab. Generation 09 adds my verified doctoral relationship with Dr. Ahamed.
The Generation 01–02 connection—from Thomas Edison to Arthur E. Kennelly—is an apprenticeship and industrial mentorship relationship, not a doctoral-advisor relationship. It is labeled separately to keep the historical record precise.
