About
With a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Michigan Technological University, I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at San José State University Research Foundation, where I work on a multidisciplinary project to discover high-performance structures using quantum dot nanocomposites. This project, funded by the National Science Foundation, combines molecular dynamics, machine learning, and data-driven methods to explore the mechanical behavior of novel materials at different scales. My research interests and skills include material design, polymer composites, micro-mechanics, solid mechanics, stress analysis, finite element analysis, optimization, and geometric modeling. I have extensive experience in using molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the interfacial properties of carbon-reinforced composites and developing machine learning models to efficiently map interfacial configurations to interfacial strength. I have also worked on developing an integrated computational materials engineering framework to predict the thermo-mechanical properties of polymer matrix composites using nanoscale results. I have published multiple papers in peer-reviewed journals and conferences and received an outstanding graduate student teaching award for my role as a lab instructor for a finite element methods course. I am passionate about advancing the knowledge and innovation in the field of computational mechanics and materials design and collaborating with researchers and industry partners to solve challenging engineering problems.
