About Me
I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, working in the T.E. Murphy Engine Research Laboratory (MERL). My research focuses on advancing clean energy solutions by studying complex reacting flows, synthetic/carbon-neutral fuels, and energy storage technologies.
I utilize both experimental and numerical techniques to investigate the physics and kinetics of reactive flows to develop a deeper understanding of advanced combustion systems and low-temperature plasma processes, contributing to cleaner and more efficient energy generation technologies.
