Research Focus

Boundary Layer Physics

My research at the University of Utah investigates the thermodynamic and aerodynamic interactions of utility-scale solar installations. By modeling these flows, we identify optimization strategies for large-scale energy harvesting.

Academic Affiliations

Currently serving as a Graduate Research Assistant within the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Active collaborator at the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, focusing on atmospheric boundary layer turbulence.

Core Expertise

Specialized in high-performance computational fluid dynamics (CFD), Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) modeling, experimental wind tunnel testing, and automated Python data analysis pipelines.

Selected Publications

Teaching Experience
