I am an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach. My research explores how buildings and thermal systems can store, move, and use energy more effectively.

I combine thermal energy storage, phase-change materials, HVAC, computational modeling, experimental validation, and AI-assisted optimization to develop practical engineering solutions that improve efficiency and sustainability.

At ERAU, I teach and mentor future engineers while building the next chapter of my research in intelligent thermal and building-energy systems.
