Postdoc Fellow, Georgia Institute of Technology
My research focuses on high-speed, turbulent, and multiphysics flows that shape energy efficiency and sustainability in natural and engineered systems. I develop adaptive digital twins that couple simulations, models, and data in closed-loop feedback frameworks to improve prediction, control, forecasting, uncertainty quantification, and decision-making.
About me
I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Computational Physics Group at Georgia Tech CSE, working with Prof. Spencer Bryngelson. I completed my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) under the supervision of Profs. Oliver Schmidt and Stefan Llewellyn Smith. Additionally, I obtained my M.S. from UCSD, where I worked with Prof. Stefan Llewellyn Smith. My research focused on understanding the dynamics and physics of turbulent flows by incorporating theories, computational methods, and experiments. The main approaches used for my research include computational fluid dynamics, data assimilation, data-driven methods, mesh-free methods, optimal experimental designs, and reduced-order models.
