About

I am a postdoctoral scholar in the Large-Scale Design Optimization (LSDO) lab at UC San Diego. My research focuses on developing computational methods and tools that accelerate the design of next-generation aerospace vehicles. 

I have a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, a master's degree in computational science and engineering, and a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering. My graduate school research was conducted in the Aerospace Systems Design Lab at Georgia Tech. My research has been funded in parts by the Airbus-Georgia Tech Center for Overall Aircraft Design, the NASA TTT project, and the NASA University Leadership Initiative

I serve on the AIAA Modeling and Simulation Technical Committee and have been serving on a number of committees at the ACM/IEEE SuperComputing Conference since 2021.
