I am an Apollo 11 Postdoctoral Fellow at the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue University, where I work with Prof. Kazuki Maeda.

Prior to this, I earned my PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maryland under the supervision of Prof. Johan Larsson.

My research focuses on using computational modeling to study and predict turbulent flows in extreme operating conditions, with an emphasis on high-speed and intense heat-transfer flows.
