I’m an R&D engineer with a PhD and 8+ years of experience working across advanced materials, experimental characterization, and engineering simulation. I focus on building end-to-end workflows that connect manufacturing reality to measured performance—so design teams can make confident decisions based on evidence, not assumptions.

A core part of my work is closing the loop between testing and analysis: defining test objectives and acceptance criteria, designing repeatable methods and fixtures, instrumenting and running qualification campaigns (including cryogenic testing), and performing rigorous data reduction. I translate complex results into clear, actionable insights for cross-functional stakeholders.

On the modeling side, I develop and validate predictive simulations—calibrating material behavior, capturing interfaces and failure modes, and correlating finite element results against experimental data. I’m especially interested in problems where materials, testing, and simulation need to work together to retire technical risk and accelerate development.
