I am a research associate in the School of Mechanical, Industrial, and Manufacturing Engineering at Oregon State University. My research interests include computational methods for reduced order modeling, control, and sensitivity analysis of partial differential equations. I am particularly interested in these topics in relation to fluid dynamics and flow control.
