As an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Michael W. Hall School of Mechanical Engineering, I focus on delivering engaging and effective instruction. My teaching emphasizes hands-on learning, critical thinking, and practical applications to prepare students for engineering challenges.

Research Interests

My research primarily focuses on leveraging computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model fluid-structure interactions and develop mathematical models to optimize and control flow structures in high-speed boundary layers. Recently, I’ve developed a strong interest in integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) into fluid dynamics applications, exploring how these advanced technologies can enhance fluid behavior predictions and control strategies in complex engineering systems.
