I am a Master's student in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Minnesota Duluth. My research interests focus on computational heat transfer, particularly in optimizing the simulation of biofuel combustion.
Outside of research, I am passionate about triathlon and rock climbing. I plan to spend the next several years in academia, continuing to explore the applications and nuances of computational fluid dynamics.
I enjoy traveling and spending quality time in different parts of the world.
Equity, equality, diversity, combustion flame simulation, data analysis, analytical approaches, and novel numerical solutions are attractive. My quantitative and analytical skills have been DEVELOPING through working on multiple research topics as a professor, post-doc, and scientist: data-assimilated CFD simulation of combustion, solar energy forecasts, computational and experimental study of laminar and turbulent heat transfer, analytical thermodynamics, analytical solutions to oscillatory systems, simulation and optimization of water disinfection processes, etc. My overarching academic goal is to develop a research team that evaluates and enhances the thermal performance of commercial and residential renewable energy systems and advances the state-of-the-art data-driven low-dimensional manifold methodologies for various problems arising in different fields such as reactive flows, renewable energy, health care, etc.
