About Me

I am a dedicated Aerospace Engineering graduate student at Arizona State University (GPA: 3.24) with expertise in Finite Element Analysis (FEA), CAD modeling, and thermal protection systems. My journey began with a dream of becoming a pilot and evolved into a passion for engineering cutting-edge aerospace solutions.

With hands-on experience in structural simulations, materials research, and systems engineering, I have contributed to projects at NASA L'SPACE, Yang's Lab, and RCI DRDL. My work focuses on advancing aerospace technology through rigorous analysis, innovation, and problem-solving.
