About Me

Thanks for visiting! Currently, I’m a third year PhD student at the University of Colorado Boulder and a member of the Nonequillibrium Gas and Plasma Dynamics Laboratory under Prof. Iain Boyd. My research involves the simulation of high-speed compressible flows where thermochemical effects are no longer negligible.

Previously, I graduated from The University of Michigan with my BSE in Aerospace Engineering with a focus in external aerodynamic analysis and aircraft design. There, I worked within Prof. Jesse Capecelatro’s Multiphase/Multi-Physics Flow Laboratory studying the particle flow physics of pulsatile coughs and expulsions. I was also strongly involved with my student design team, M-Fly where I helped design large-scale RC aircraft for the national SAE aero competition.

I try to get outside whenever I get the chance - take a look here for some fun photos I’ve taken.
