I am a computational scientist interested in developing numerical algorithms for mathematical modeling of physical systems and engineering applications. I am currently a Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a doctoral student in the Center for Computational Science and Engineering in the Institute's Schwarzman College of Computing working with Prof. David Darmofal. The focus of my doctoral research is to develop physics-informed machine-learning-based numerical methods for closure modeling of chaotic systems and stability of linearized chaotic systems. I'm also a visiting researcher with the Computational Mathematics Group at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory working with Dr. Panos Stinis and Dr. Amanda Howard on machine-learning-based spectral methods for reduced-order modeling of partial differential equations. I have experience developing and running code on modern high-performance computing architectures for scientific computing applications across academia, government, and industry.

I earned my master's degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics with a specialization in Aerospace Computational Engineering from MIT in June 2023. I completed my master's thesis on assessing wall-modeled large-eddy simulation for high-speed turbulent flows and exploring new modeling strategies advised by Prof. Adrian Lozano-Duran.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Aerospace Engineering with a minor in Atmospheric Sciences and a concentration in Computational Science and Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in May 2021. I worked on various research projects in the Numerics and Unsteady Flows Group with Andres Goza and the Center for Hypersonics & Entry Systems Studies directed by Marco Panesi.

Outside of research, I enjoy teaching and mentoring. I have been recognized for my teaching and leadership at UIUC many times, including by my former students from classes I've developed and instructed. I have been consistently recognized by MIT AeroAstro for my involvement and leadership in advocacy efforts. In my free time, I like going to karaoke and live music events with my friends. I also like staying active (rock climbing, cycling, boxing). One of my goals is to complete a triathlon. I also like spending time with my siblings and my adopted tuxedo cat Finneas.
