I am currently a PhD student at the NSF funded Future Renewable Electric Energy Delivery and Management (FREEDM) Systems Center at North Carolina State University (NCSU). I hold a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of South Florida (USF). As an undergraduate student, I completed summer research projects at the FREEDM Systems Center and at the University of Michigan's Radiation Laboratory (RADLAB). I previously performed research on Titanium Dioxide based self cleaning applications on polycarbonate. My current research interests include wireless power transfer and high galvanic isolation power converters.

Additionally, I received a bachelor's degree in Construction Management from the University of Florida's Rinker School of Building Construction in 2010. In October of 2010, I obtained my LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) accreditation for building design and construction. My industry experience includes a combined three years as a project engineer at DPR Construction and Stryker Communications. At DPR, I was involved in the management of several technically complex and sustainable projects for the advanced technology, life sciences, healthcare and higher education markets. At Stryker, I served as the primary technical resource for sales and project services within the southeast region for the company's state of the art operating room installation projects. Furthermore, while enrolled at USF, I participated in internships at Jabil, Inc. and General Electric (GE) Aviation.
