My research group is the Aerospace Computational Engineering (ACE) Group at Georgia Tech. Our research mission is to develop new, scalable computational methods to support engineering design, analysis, and control. Learn more about the kinds of research questions we consider here.
ACE Group is growing! I am committed to creating a supportive, inclusive, and equitable research environment where all students can thrive.
I am a PhD student interested in model reduction. I received my BS and MS in Aerospace Engineering at Pusan National University, with a specific focus on the application of model reduction techniques in diverse contexts: design optimization, system identification, and digital twins. [web]
I am a PhD student specializing in model reduction and controls. I received my BS from the Aerospace Engineering department at Purdue University with a concentration in dynamics and controls. I have experience as a Drone software development intern at TerraDrone Corp and Robotics intern at Nokia Bell Labs. [LinkedIn] [web]
I am a senior undergraduate student in Aerospace Engineering. Before joining ACE, I worked at the Ben T. Zinn Combustion Lab, and also performed orbital mechanics research concerning hyperbolic orbits. I also performed a study concerning statistical methods and analysis in one of my internships, after which I developed an interest in computational methods. I hope to continue with a Master’s in Computational Science and Engineering or a similar field in the future.
I am a PhD student interested in nonlinear dynamical systems modeling, and scientific machine learning. I received a BS in Mechanical Engineering and Computational Modeling & Data Analytics (CMDA) from Virginia Tech. I have experience in Vibrations, Control Systems, and Computational Data Science.
I am a master’s student in Computational Science and Engineering. I hold both a BS and an MSc in Mechanical Engineering from the Technical University of Madrid and ETH Zurich. My research interests lie in scientific machine learning and surrogate modelling. I also have experience in generative AI for architectural design and in working with finite element methods (FEM).
I am a PhD student focusing on model reduction for Bayesian inference. Before joining ACE group I received my BS in Applied and Computational Mathematics from Caltech, where I also did some work in network science.
I am a PhD student specializing in uncertainty qualification in computational science and scientific machine learning. Prior to join ACE, I received my MSc in Statistics from Oxford University and then worked as a Research Assistant in Statistics and Data Science at The University of Hong Kong. I am also excited about data science innovations for sustainability, with experience in applying data science to EV battery recycling and climate modelling.
I am a master's student specializing in machine learning, having received my BS in Computer Science from Georgia Tech. Before joining ACE, I had prior experience researching generative AI for art, as well as developing statistical approximations for naval engineering. My work is now focused on model optimization for public health.
I am an undergraduate Aerospace Engineering major and Mathematics minor. Outside of ACE, I am part of the Aerodynamics sub-team of Georgia Tech Motorsports (GTMS) where we design the aero-package for the FSAE competition. The combination of learning about PDEs in my engineering coursework and our use of CFD simulations in GTMS made me develop an interest in Computational Mathematics and Modeling.

Pre-requisites: Undergraduates who are interested in joining the group should take my AE 4803 NUM course or similar coursework first -- this is the best way to learn about ACE Group's research area. If you have taken AE 4803 NUM or completed similar coursework, or are currently enrolled in the course, and you like the material, you might like doing research in ACE group.
Commitment: Undergraduates must commit at least a single full term (summer or semester) at a minimum of 6 hours/week. Undergraduate research is usually for credit, but paid research opportunities are sometimes available, depending on the availability of funds and the qualifications of the student. One way to fund paid undergraduate research is to win a PURA award (see link at right).
How to apply: If you fulfill the above pre-requisites, send me an email with your CV, an unofficial transcript, the term you'd like to do research in, and a 3-4 sentence description of what you're hoping to get out of an undergraduate research experience.
There are currently no funded open postdoctoral positions in my group. If you are interested in applying for external fellowship funding to support postdoctoral research in my group, check out the links to the right. If you are interested in applying for one of these programs with me as one of your faculty mentors please send me an email with a CV and short summary of research interests/goals.
