About Me

I’m a mechanical engineering master’s student at UC Riverside focused on thermal systems, multiphysics simulation, and experimental diagnostics.

My work spans research and industry—from modeling RF-heated plasma systems in COMSOL and ANSYS to performing thermal diagnostics and failure analysis for aerospace manufacturing at Precision Castparts Corp. I focus on understanding system behavior and using modeling and data to support engineering decisions.

I’ve worked with Element, Fluke, Williamson, and Inductronix on temperature validation, sensor evaluation, and troubleshooting high-temperature process instability, combining hands-on testing with analytical modeling.

I also maintain a GitHub with repositories documenting modeling ideas, small simulation experiments, and analysis work. View GitHub
