Bio


I am currently a Mechanical Engineering graduate student at Stanford University pursuing a PhD. At the university, I work as a research assistant in the high-temperature gas dynamics laboratory. My current work involves novel concepts in laser spectroscopy. I pride myself in being self-motivated, detail oriented, and a team player.
