Who am I? #

Professionally #

I am current a PhD Student and North Carolina State University. I study Computational Fluid Dynamics, specifically as it applies to high-speed and reacting flows. My undergraduate degree is also from NC State.
I started assisting with research as un undergrad, getting involved with the supersonic wind tunnel lab before transitioning to more computational focused work.
My first internship was with the Advanced Data Systems and Measurements branch at NASA Langley Research Center, where I wrote some code to do time-space frequency analysis of fast-responce pressure sensetive paint data.
Subsequently I interned with the Inlets and Nozzles branch at the NASA Glenn Research Center. There I was first involved with porting a method for generating Busemann-type inlets from fortran to python.
Since then I have found myself back with the Inlets and Nozzles branch, now as a graduate student. I’m helping to explore the use of their their high-order finite element CFD code, Glenn Flux Reconstruction, GFR, for doing large eddy simulations of an experimental scramjet combustor.

As you can probably tell by the content on this website, two of my biggest hobbies are messing around with numerical methods and building High-Powered Rockets.
I also played the trumpet all the way through marching & pep band at NC State and have been slowly learning how to play piano.
Keeping my 22 year old Ford Ranger maintained has also turned into a bit of a hobby on its own.
