Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at
Boston University (May 2026 Grad)
My doctoral projects involve hardware and software components and focus on (i) nonlinear nanomechanical and electrical closed-loop systems, (ii) multiphysics finite-element models, and (iii) physics-informed machine learning. A high-level overview of my work and background can be found in this news article.
In the summer of 2025, I was a graduate intern at the Aramco Research Center in Houston, working with scientists and engineers in the Robotics and Sensor Development Team. At Aramco, I worked on sensor platforms for real-time monitoring of oil drilling fluids. I completed my B.E. and M.S. degrees magna cum laude at Stony Brook University in New York.​​
I am actively applying for Postdoctoral Fellowships, Industry R&D positions (Mechanical Design, Testing, and Simulations), with start dates in early summer thru Fall 2026.
My Postdoctoral Research Proposal is available here. A link to my CV can be found below in the footnote section.​
