What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and allows me to apply my engineering skills in challenging projects.

I am a dedicated mechanical engineer with a strong academic background and hands-on research experience. I completed my MS in Mechanical Engineering from The George Washington University, where I focused on fluid mechanics, thermal sciences, and energy. My research has involved advanced topics such as laser-induced cavitation and anti-icing surfaces, showcasing my ability to tackle complex engineering challenges.

Throughout my academic journey, I have gained valuable experience as a Graduate Research Assistant in various laboratories, where I honed my skills in modern measurement techniques and diagnostic tools. I have also contributed to teaching engineering experimentation methods, emphasizing data analysis techniques. My passion for engineering extends beyond the classroom, as I have engaged in projects involving indoor localization and cloud computing, further enhancing my technical expertise.
