Biography

I am a second year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park. I am working with Dr. Dinesh Manocha as a part of the GAMMA lab as well as Dr. Matthias Zwicker. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with Bachelor's degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of Maryland, College Park in 2020. Since graduating, I have worked at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (JHUAPL) as a software engineer working on computational electromagnetics simulations. In 2022, I received a Master's degree, with honors, in Applied and Computational Mathematics from the Johns Hopkins University. I currently serve as the section supervisor of the Scientific Computing and Software Engineering section as well as a lead developer for electromagnetic simulation work at JHUAPL.

Research Interests

My research interests lie in Scientific Computing, GPU Programming, Machine Learning, and Parallel Computing. I am fascinated by efficiently modeling physics to empower the next generation of engineering applications. I am currently focused on combining all of these areas in work focused on Scientific Machine Learning either through differentiable simulation or applying machine learning techniques to classical domains of physics modeling.
