About Me
I am a 4th year PhD student in the mechanical engineering department at The University of Texas at Austin, and I study under Dr. Janet Ellzey. My current research is in rich and ultra-rich combustion for syngas production, and I work with filtration reactors and laminar flames. I am primarily an experimentalist, and I am interested in chemical kinetics, combustion limit phenomena and transport.
I graduated from Cornell University in 2004 with a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering. At Cornell I worked on a flame chemiluminescence project for Professor Fred Gouldin. For three years following graduation, I worked at Raytheon Company as a Radar Systems Engineer.
