About Me
I am an Early Admit M.Eng student in Mechanical Engineering at Cornell University, graduating in December 2026, with a focus on designing and analyzing physical, performance-driven systems.
As a former coxswain for Cornell’s Lightweight Rowing team and an avid cyclist, my perspective in athletics has shaped how I think about performance, where small design decisions can have measurable impacts on system behavior.
A question that drives me is: how can I design and build systems that perform reliably and efficiently in demanding environments?
Simulation & Testing
Using FEA, CFD, and physical testing to validate performance and understand system behavior.
Manufacturing
Considering fabrication, assembly, and tolerances to ensure systems function reliably in practice.
Design
Translating concepts into manufacturable mechanical systems through CAD, prototyping, and iteration.
Leadership
Making real-time decisions and communicating clearly under pressure as a coxswain, where consistency, timing, and execution directly impact outcomes.
Projects
Electric Vehicle Body CFD Optimization
CFD-driven vehicle body optimization focused on reducing drag and wake intensity.
EverSeat Modular System
A single child seat system replacing multiple stages.
Production Tooling for Stator Coil Bonding
A pneumatic production fixture to improve repeatability in stator coil bonding.
