Research Interests

I've been interested in fluid and heat transfer analysis since working on engine modeling and design as a member of the Formula SAE team in college. Before joining the GEAR lab at MIT, my MS research at Purdue focused on the development of numerical tools for investigating the propagation of low-Reynolds number gravity currents for geophysical applications. Presently, I'm interested in combining my interest in fluid mechanics with device design as a member of the drip irrigation team.
