My research interests span scientific machine learning, tensor algebra, and high-performance computing, with broad applications in science and engineering.
I previously interned at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory facility as a SULI software engineer, where I developed verification and validation software for high performance computing. Later, I interned as an X‑ray CT systems engineer at VJ Technologies, where I worked on Monte Carlo simulation of radiation transport, X-ray-based non-destructive testing, in addition to setting up CT machines and a particle accelerator.
Before beginning my PhD in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, San Diego, I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a B.S. in Physics from the University of California, Riverside and later with an M.S. in Computational Applied Mathematics from Stony Brook University.
news
Jun 07, 2025 | I will attend the 2025 Structure–Preserving Scientific Computing and Machine Learning Summer School and Hackathon at the University of Washington, Seattle from 06/16–06/25, sponsored by the NSF. While there I will not only interact with leading experts in computational mathematics but also learn more about cutting–edge research in low–rank approximations, operator splitting, deep learning, and more. |
