Advanced engineering for flight, propulsion, and thermal systems.

Contribute to advanced robotics and biomechanics research in collaboration with NASA, building adaptive systems for extreme environments. Accelerated Python simulation workflows 5× via C++ parallelization in support of climate-based modeling for Martian habitat construction, enabling real-time control systems that reduced material defects by 15%. Engineered a bioinspired spider robot in MATLAB, Simulink, and Simscape to study gait adaptation and biomechanical response to autotomy. Led modifications of 3D printers to develop soft robotic limbs with programmable deformation using electromagnets and iron-filled lattice structures.

Computational fluid dynamics research on steady coherent solutions in two-dimensional Rayleigh–Bénard convection. Modeled the governing equations in MATLAB to visualize flow patterns and temperature distributions across fluid layers, and studied the stability and transition of convection patterns by sweeping the Rayleigh number. Work culminated in a published study on asymptotic transport at infinite Prandtl number.

Developed and simulated advanced musculoskeletal and prosthetic systems through high-fidelity modeling. Built anatomically accurate muscle and fascicle models in HyperMesh with mesh-quality optimization for downstream simulation. Designed next-generation prosthetics in Abaqus and integrated CAD platforms, iterating on mechanical efficiency and user fit. Ran FEA in LS-PrePost and LS-DYNA to evaluate stress distribution, dynamic response, and failure modes.

Guided first-year students through academic adjustment, time management, and campus resources. Designed and ran workshops on study strategy and academic skills, and held one-on-one advising sessions to help students build a strong foundation for their college careers.

Optimized robotic system code for task performance and reliability. Conducted optical experiments using optical tables, laser emitters, and Moku Labs equipment, and performed mathematical computations and function encoding in Wolfram Mathematica to support project research.

Resolved technical issues across OKTA, Zoom, Microsoft Office, Adobe, Canvas, Cengage, and NYIT portals through phone, email, and walk-in support. Used RingCentral for client communication and ServiceNow for ticket management to deliver efficient remote technical support across a wide range of platforms.
