As a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering at Penn State, I focus on experimental, diagnostic, and data-driven projects for combustion and high-speed applications. I am proud to be a DOD NDSEG fellow, working on improving diagnostics applicable to the defense sector. I am a highly motivated individual with interests spanning the automotive, aerospace, energy, and defense sectors. I strive to change the world for the better by applying engineering principals in developing next-generation technologies. I perpetually look for opportunities that will allow me to further develop my technical and soft skills while contributing substantially to projects which improve local and global communities.
