I am a computational scientist interested in machine learning and applied mathematics for the numerical simulation of partial differential equations. I am currently a Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a doctoral candidate in the Center for Computational Science and Engineering in the Institute's Schwarzman College of Computing working with Prof. David Darmofal.
I also collaborate with the Computational Mathematics Group at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory working with Dr. Panos Stinis and Dr. Amanda Howard. Through my doctoral research, I developed a unified framework that incorporates stochastic and generative modeling for closure and stability of multiscale chaotic systems. I have extensive experience developing and running code on modern high-performance computing architectures for scientific computing applications across academia and industry. My recent and ongoing work includes:
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. I completed my undergraduate degree in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in May 2021, with a minor in Atmospheric Sciences and a concentration in Computational Science and Engineering. I was an undergraduate researcher in the Numerics and Unsteady Flows Group advised by Andres Goza and the Center for Hypersonics & Entry Systems Studies directed by Marco Panesi.
Outside of research, I enjoy teaching and mentoring. I have mentored many undergraduate students for various research projects in aerospace engineering and applied mathematics through the MIT Summer Research Program (MSRP) and the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP). I have been consistently recognized by MIT AeroAstro for my involvement and leadership in advocacy efforts. 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.
In my free time, I like staying active (rock climbing, cycling, boxing) and going to live music events (karaoke, concerts, dancing) with my friends. I also like spending time with my siblings and my cat Finneas.
