Bio
I am a full-time research engineer pursuing my PhD in machine learning at Georgia Tech. As I narrow down what I want to focus my PhD on, I have taken interest in the use of generative models for various problems. I am passionate about using high performance computing to solve large-scale problems in computational physics. I am excited to discover ways that data-driven techniques can speed up the often burdensome computations needed for molecular and electromagnetic systems.
Prior to my PhD, I received master's and bachelor's degrees in electrical engineering from Georgia Tech as well. I have worked at two startups, one of which I co-founded, and have done research in genetic algorithms for thin-film design. I have been a research engineer at Georgia Tech since January 2018, where I have worked on problems in electromagnetic design, software architecture, and drug discovery.
