About Me
Seeking beauty in science; building technology for human flourishing.
Hello! I am a PhD student at the California Institute of Technology. My research focus is on measuring unsteady fluid flows, so while my feet are on the ground in Pasadena, my head is often in the clouds!
Life on earth is complex. On one hand, there is beauty in every corner of the universe. Yet, we see that the problems facing humanity continue to worsen around us. These two facets of our existence motivate the work that I do. As a scientist, I seek to expose bits of the vast beauty of our universe for the knowledge and enjoyment of mankind; as an engineer, I aim to build technologies that universally help people to flourish.
Research
Experimental Fluid Mechanics powered by Math and Computer Science
Most of my work has been done in the field of experimental fluid mechanics, where I’ve applied modern tools from machine learning and applied mathematics to address challenges in renewable energies, complex flow characterization, aerodynamics, and instrumentation. Whether in the laboratory, in the field, or at my desk, I hope to push the boundaries of what can be learned from real-world fluids, enabling the life-enhancing systems of tomorrow.
Recent News
I was recently given the opportunity to give a science outreach talk on my research through Caltech’s Science Journeys program. The title of my talk was Chaos, Turbulence, and the Beauty of Uncertainty in Complex Systems. If you are interested, you can find a recording at the link on the right!
