I am a Graduate CFD Research Assistant in Mechanical Engineering at University of Connecticut, where I conduct cutting-edge research on jet turbine combustor flow and heat transfer using OpenFOAM. My research consists of high-fidelity CFD as well as heat transfer (FEA). I previously completed a Mechanical Engineering undergraduate degree with a concentration in Aerospace and Design and Manufacturing, and I have completed specialized courses in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element Method (FEM), Advanced Thermal Fluids, Turbulence, Combustion, and Propulsion. In addition to my academic work, I have gained valuable industry experience. I worked with Sierra Space's Flight Sciences group as a CFD Aerodynamics Intern. where I integrated Siemens digital products into their aerodynamics workflow for data standardization and automated CFD case set-up and submission for 5+ parameter design sweeps of the DC-200 space shuttle simulating realistic flight conditions. I have also developed skills in drones and drone mapping, which I am passionate about and eager to apply to innovative projects. I am motivated by challenging problems that require creativity, collaboration, and continuous learning, and I strive to contribute to the advancement of engineering and technology.
