About Myself


I am a Mechanical Engineering student at Rochester Institute of Technolgy with experience in optimal and non-linear controls, machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision. I strive to learn from my past experiences, and am comfortable being uncomfortable in challenging personal and professional growth situations. I am working towards my bachelors and masters degree in Mechanical Engineering but have performed research in various fields of machine learning. Currently seeking full-time employment.

Experience


Picture

RIT Mechanical Engineering

I am in the process of completing a five year dual degree (B.S. and M.S.), in Mechanical Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology. The area of focus for my Master's degree was Controls Systems primarily non-linear and optimal controls, and their applications to flight systems.

2015-2021
College

Discrete Microfluidics Lab

Our team studied the properties of micro-scale gel beads substrates for use in vibrational energy harvesters. I utilized Matlab to analyze a the bead's geometric properties and developed a method for predicting the curvature of the beads. Our team presented our findings at RIT's Undergraduate Research Symposium, and published an article in the ASME Journal of Fluid Engineering.

May 2016 - May 2018
