About me

Curiosity, translated into tangible systems.

I’m a Mechanical Engineering student at Boston University, minoring in Chemistry with a concentration in Energy Technologies & Sustainability.

I’m drawn to the materials-science side of the clean energy transition: how the microstructure of an electrode or the porosity of a battery can be engineered to move real energy systems forward.

My work spans low-tortuosity battery electrodes, carbon-emissions analysis, mechanical testing, and hands-on systems including structural trusses and automated sorting devices.
