BioI study mechanics of materials using computer simulations across multiple length and time scales. I am currently working on understanding how material defects and microstructures govern macroscopic mechanical behaviors. This includes constructing plasticity theory from statistics of dislocations, homogenization theory of digital rocks, and developing data-driven methods for multiscale simulations.
I did Research Interns at Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs (working on machine learning for dynamical and energy systems) and Tokyo Electron (working on computational modeling of semiconductor manufacturing).
I am currently teaching (TA & co-lecture) for Elasticity & Inelasticity (ME340). I served as the TA for Finite Element Method (ME335A). -

Ph.D. Minor, Computer ScienceCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsMy interdisciplinary research examines digital media through the lens of critical race, gender, and sexuality studies. I am primarily interested in investigating how we can leverage the power of media to reinvent and promote social equality. Specifically, my research focuses on digital games and their prosocial influence on 21st- century China.

BioI study the coupling between the global carbon and water cycles under climate change. Specifically, I investigate how plants regulate carbon uptake and water loss as atmospheric CO2 rises and water limitation intensifies, and how these responses feed back on the global environment. I develop hybrid physics–machine learning approaches and combine them with the expanding record of satellite and in situ observations to test hypotheses about ecosystem function.
