I am a Postdoctoral Associate in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University, where I work with Professor Samitha Samaranayake. I received my PhD in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 2025, where I was advised by Professor Efstathios Bakolas, and my BS in Aerospace Engineering from University of California San Diego in 2020.
