About Me | Obtained degrees from the University of Rhode Island following the curriculum for the International Engineering Program (IEP); earning a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and B.A. in German Language and Literature. Spent a year abroad in Germany, studying at the Technische Universität Braunschweig (TU-BS), with a research project involving suspension analysis at the Institute for Automotive Technology (Institut für Fahrzeugtechnik). During my time at TU-BS, I was also involved in the Lions Racing Team; a student initiative to design, develop, and build a race car for German Formula Student competitions. In 2011, I completed a 6 month internship at BMW Research and Innovation Center (FIZ) in the department titled 'Functional Integration of Driving Dynamics' in Munich Germany.

I completed my graduate studies under Dr. Arun Shukla as a member of the Dynamic Photomechanics and Materials Testing Laboratories (DPML) earning a M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics. The use of high frame-rate optical methods (Digital Image Correlation), strain gauges and pressure transducers were utilized to investigate various dynamic phenomena associated with materials in extreme conditions. We also explored shock, implosion, ballistics, composites and other experimental solid mechanics. Currently work for Naval Surface Warfare Center - ...(read more) |
