I am a Research Scientist at Ahmic Aerospace, specializing in experimental fluid mechanics. This work involves leading research programs in high-speed aerodynamics, as well as working in product development. Prior to this, I completed my Ph.D. at Notre Dame with my dissertation focused on conducting benchmark quality, flow separation experiments for CFD validation of RANS simulations. I also have experience with both passive and active flow control techniques. While working with NAVSEA I received a US patent for designing a high voltage slip ring which was integral for the implementation of plasma actuators to a centrifugal lift fan. Including these works, I have 7+ years of experience with wind tunnel testing including diagnostic techniques such as laser Doppler velocimetry, particle image velocimetry, hot-wire anemometry, oil-film flow visualization, oil-film interferometry and freestream and surface pressure measurements.When I'm not in the lab, I enjoy playing Ultimate, working in the yard, and enjoying life with my family. I am also a maker and fascinated with leatherworking, woodworking, manual machining, tool making, and building fine scale models.
