Welcome!

I am a fourth-year dual Ph.D. candidate in Applied and Interdisciplinary Mathematics and Scientific Computing at the University of Michigan, advised by Professor Silas Alben. My research lies at the intersection of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, optimization, and scientific computing, with the goal of answering a fundamental question: What are the most efficient fluid flows for transporting heat? 

By developing mathematical models and optimization algorithms to identify flow configurations that maximize convective heat transfer, my work seeks to establish design principles for energy-efficient cooling technologies used in applications ranging from data centers and electronic devices to industrial heat exchangers and energy systems. My recent research has focused on optimizing two-dimensional fluid flow in straight channels.

Beyond my core research, I am increasingly interested in applying optimization, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics to environmental and climate-related challenges, particularly those involving energy efficiency and sustainability.
