Mechanical Engineer
I am an engineering graduate student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with a research focus on thermal and materials science.
At the university, I’m also a research assistant advised by Prof Baur, Prof Jasiuk, and Prof Nenad to develop:
Novel 3D Print Composites
Thermal Management System for Data Centers
Experiences
Product Design and Development Intern - Healthcare
Mechanical Design Engineer - Automotive
Graduate Research Assistant - Prof. Jasiuk’s Group & Energy Transport Research Lab
University Of Illinois Urbana Champaign - Graduate Research Assistant
Micro Cooler Development for Liquid Cooling in Data Centers
The research under the Energy Transport Lab at UIUC aims to develop and optimize micro cooler designs by · comparing thermal resistance and pumping power requirements between topology-optimized and conventional heat sink designs.
Continuous Fiber Additive Manufacturing Research
The research aims to enhance carbon fiber sandwich structures' performance using CF3D technology, focusing on optimizing fiber print layup strategy for improved tensile and compressive strength. By identifying the best layup configurations, the study seeks to leverage additive manufacturing's advantages to produce stronger, more efficient carbon fiber composites than traditional methods.
