About Me

I am a UCF graduate who graduated with a Masters degree in Biomedical Engineering in 2024, and had previously obtained a Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering through the Honors College in 2022. I have a love for all things science, especially space and interdisciplinary topics. More than anything else, I want to help others. I always try to stay involved in community service, and am happiest when my work is directly helping people. My specific academic interests include computational fluid dynamics, medical image processing, clinical embryology, biomechanics, and all things space. Those aside, my personal interests often revolve around striving to bake the perfect cinnamon rolls, making my friends laugh, running, playing piano, painting, and the quest for the world's best french fries.

Projects

Guest Speaker at BMES UCF

I had the honor of speaking at the Biomedical Engineering Society at UCF, where I discussed advice for pursuing graduate school and research, my past research, my present research projects, and my future goals.

Moving Boundary CFD

I worked on testing moving-boundary computational fluid dynamics simulations using Star-CCM+. Pictured is a wall velocity plot of a simplified two-chamber heart model with deforming walls and internal flow.

Senior Design - ASME Trike

For my Senior Design Project Senior year of undergrad, I was on a team that competed in the ASME human powered vehicle competition. I was responsible for designing the chassis and simulating Aerodynamics and crash states.

Teaching Assistant - Modeling Methods

From 2021 - 2022, I was a Teaching Assistant for EML 3034C - Modeling Methods. A junior level combined mathematics and programming course required of all MAE students. I taught lab every Friday for 2.5 hours, and held office hours every week.

Limbitless Educational Documentary

During my internship at Limbitless Solutions, I partnered with the heads of film and branding to make the first episode of an educational video series. I covered the topic of 3D printing, and with the help from many in the lab, was the narrator and teacher in this mini documentary. To watch this video, click here

3D Printed Biofilter

While working in the Biomaterials & Nanomedicine Lab at UCF, another major project I undertook was to design and fabricate a novel exosome isolation filtration system, which would replace the expensive and inefficient alternatives.

Nanomaterial Fabrication

One of my undergraduate projects is the creation of a novel nanomaterial for the delivery of cancer therapeutics to osteosarcoma patients. Patent pending, check back later for more information once it is filed!

Biodegradable Bone Screw

A project that I have been assisting with is the development of a biodegradable bone screw. My role was mostly on the design side, as I was responsible for the engineering design for machining.

Limbitless Arc Reactor

As an Engineering Intern for Limbitless Solutions, I designed and printed my own Arc Reactor replica. I programmed an Adafruit Circuit Playground in modified C to perform certain actions upon conditions. I also was taught how to airbrush and paint with the leading technology in the fine art field.
