Ph.D. graduate student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University researching electroacoustics, loudspeaker technologies, and acoustic metamaterials.

US - UK Fulbright Awardee to the University of Southampton, Institute of Sound and Vibration Research. Studying a Postgraduate Taught Master's of Science degree in Acoustical Engineering. Using the knowledge and skills obtained from this experience to motivate my future Ph.D. studies and research.

Acoustical Engineering MSc student on a Fulbright Scholarship at the University of Southampton, Institute of Sound and Vibration Research. Research conducted was on active acoustic metamaterials.

Junior and Senior year I had the privilege of helping assist my professors in teaching four courses, two in the fall and two in the spring, at the University of Rochester Audio and Music Engineering Department. For the fall, I am involved with AME 140 which is the freshman introduction class to the major. For this class I engage with students helping them understand and complete their homework and laboratory assignments. I also attend lab sessions every other week preparing for the workshops and also help during the lab hours to teach students and familiarize them with the equipment. The other class is AME 193, the highly competitive sound design course on campus. I work close with the professor organizing hardware like analog synthesizers, handheld portable microphones, computers, MIDI Controllers, and other various audio equipment. I attend each class and get my hands dirty right away jumping into student stations and teaching them the software taught in the course. I also hold office hours where students come to ask questions and get more experience on producing compelling sound design for commercials and video clips. Similarly in the spring I help teach AME 233 Acoustics, a higher level course focused on the physics of sound and electroacoustics. I grade, create tests, proctor exams, and hold office hours to enhance the students experience with the course. The other class, AME 194, is an extension of the fall sound design engineering course but instead focuses on the creation and implementation of music to video. Industry leading composers come to proctor classes, and even myself teach some days when needed. I help grade, and attend every class to guide students in learning techniques and the software. I also hold office hours for anyone that needs help weekly.

A few years ago the ECE department at the University of Rochester gave birth to a new program called Audio and Music Engineering. This degree is very specific to the study of acoustics, recording, and audio. The research revolving around the department involves work in spatial audio, loudspeakers, and other related fields. I am very grateful to be working on a new revolutionary technology: Flat Panel Loudspeakers. This is not the old procedure of just sticking a driver on a picture and saying it's worth three grand. No, here at the University of Rochester I help explore the acoustic properties of the flat panels including frequency patterns, modal shapes, and sound radiation. I construct and develop new methods on top of current research already finished in hopes of discovering a flat frequency response loudspeaker analogous to conventional loudspeakers in the market today.

Coordinate and host events around campus, providing light and sound for these occasions. Experience using sound boards such as the Behringer x32 and Compact Version, Presonus Digital Boards, Various analog Boards, Yamaha and Roland. Gaining skills with the lighting board ETC Element, Colorsource, and the Smartfade. General intuition of projectors and various lens types and styles.

Acoustic Hardware Engineer intern at Apple Corporation designing and implementing loudspeaker technologies and audio signal processing methods in new emerging consumer electronics.

Assemble and deconstruct live sound events and concerts on campus. Interact with public, confirm organizations are satisfied, and ensure performances function smoothly. Specialize in sound, work to deliver best audio quality and entertainment to the consumer and performers involved.
