I am a PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering at UCLA, specializing in Systems and Control. Go Bruins!

I am furthering my controls skill set in formal study of linear systems, optimal / robust control, stochastic estimation, flight controls and more.

As a graduate student, I am both a student researcher in the VECTR Robotics Laboratory focusing on: Optimal Motion Control and Design of Micro Air Vehicles. I am also a Graduate  Teaching Assistant  responsible for various classes:  Dynamics of Rigid Bodies, Feedback Control and the Aerospace Lab. 

Last summer I completed a second internship at the Northrop Grumman Space Park in Redondo Beach in Spacecraft Controls and Dynamics. My previous experience includes work as a Powertrain Engineering Intern at Mercedes-Benz Research & Development in Long Beach.

I have also been a member of the Formula SAE Bruin Racing Team at UCLA. Beyond my enthusiasm for engineering and vehicle dynamics, I love the outdoors and all types of action sports. In my daily life I always seek the reason for why things are the way they are and how we can improve them.
