I am an Assistant Professor in the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech. I am part of the Aeroelasticity and Structural Dynamics Group and of the Vertical Lift Research Center of Excellence.
My research involves developing computational models and analysis methods to study aeroelastic phenomena in the next generation of aerospace vehicles, focusing on both advancing the understanding of new configurations and supporting their design.
I am a member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). Within AIAA, I serve in the Structural Dynamics Technical Committee. I also participate in the Third Aeroelastic Prediction Workshop (AePW3) as a member of the Large Deflection Working Group.
Before joining Georgia Tech, I was a Research Fellow in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Michigan. At Michigan, I was affiliated with the Airbus-Michigan Center for Aero-Servo-Elasticity of Very Flexible Aircraft and the Active Aeroelasticity and Structures Research Laboratory.
