Summary

Motivated chemical engineering student with hands-on experience in thermal management, fluid dynamics, and process simulation, all of which are directly applicable to the development of nuclear fusion technologies. I am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering with plans to further my academics through a postgrad master's in Physics and Technology of Nuclear Reactors. My academic and extracurricular experiences, including competing in engineering-focused hackathons, has helped me develop the skills needed to approach complex challenges and think creatively about solutions in the fusion field.
