ABOUT ME

I'm a mechanical engineer and experimental problem-solver finishing my PhD at Boston University (May 2026). I design experiments to understand complex mechanical systems, from fiber-confined granular columns for rapid structural repair to the self-knotting dynamics of curly elastic rods, and turn observations into actionable insights.

​

Before my PhD, I spent two years as a Project Engineer and Assistant Project Manager at Suffolk Construction, coordinating MEP systems for large-scale projects in Boston. ​

​

I'm drawn to challenges that require both technical rigor and creative thinking, roles where I can prototype, analyze, iterate, and collaborate to create solutions that work in the real world, not just on paper.

​

Outside of engineering, I love expressing creativity through woodworking and spoon carving, photography, hyperrealism pointillism, and exploring museums. I'm fascinated by how art and engineering intersect: how thoughtful design makes complex systems feel intuitive and human. This portfolio contains most of my university-related projects and I hope to add more independent projects in the future.
