Introducing Myself

I’m a mechanical engineering master’s student at UC Riverside specializing in thermal–plasma systems, multiphysics simulation, and diagnostics-driven design.

My work bridges research and industry—from modeling RF-heated quartz plasma reactors in COMSOL and ANSYS, to running forensic analyses and process diagnostics for aerospace manufacturing at PCC. I focus on turning experimental data into actionable design improvements through simulation, control logic, and thermomechanical insight.

I’ve collaborated with Element, Fluke, Williamson, and Inductronix to validate temperature sensors, design control feedback loops, and troubleshoot high-temperature instability. These projects shaped my problem-solving approach to be both analytical and hands-on.

Recent highlights include:

• 🔧 PCC Methods Engineer — Diagnosed induction heating drift, developed DAQ thermal audits, improved preheat uniformity saving $70K/year
• 🧪 Graduate Researcher — Modeled RF coil–plasma–material coupling and quartz tube stress using COMSOL Multiphysics
• 📊 Howmet Aerospace Intern — Designed precision tooling for high-temperature aluminum components
• 🚀 ASME President — Led technical showcases, resume workshops, and interdisciplinary design events
