Research
Modeling of Damage Progression in Brittle Ceramic Composites using Physics-Informed Neural Network
Undergraduate Thesis · Ongoing
This undergraduate thesis focuses on modeling the complex mechanical behavior and failure mechanisms of brittle ceramic composites under stress by leveraging Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINN). By integrating physical laws directly into the neural network's learning process, the model accurately simulates and predicts multifaceted damage progression, offering advanced predictive insights into composite structural integrity.
Early Prediction of Lithium-Ion Battery Cycle Life Using Electro-Thermal Features and Random Forest Regression
Research Project · Ongoing
This ongoing research leverages Random Forest Regression algorithms to accurately forecast the comprehensive cycle life of lithium-ion batteries by analyzing their earliest electro-thermal feature extractions. Early predictive capabilities allow for the rapid and effective classification of good versus bad batteries, dramatically saving diagnostic testing time, improving quality assurance throughout production, and ensuring highly reliable long-term sustainable energy storage.

Curriculum Vitae
A comprehensive overview of my academic background, professional experience, research, and skills. Last updated April 2026.
11
Beyond the Screen
Outside of research and code, I make a genuine effort to maintain a life that isn't entirely pixels and terminals.
Reading
I primarily read non-fiction, but I'm also a huge Harry Potter fan. If I were sorted, I'm definitely more like a Slytherin.
Guitar
I love playing alternative rock. My absolute favorite guitarists are Synyster Gates from Avenged Sevenfold and Dimebag Darrell from Pantera.
Formula 1 Racing
My favorite driver is Max Verstappen, but I closely follow Oscar Piastri and Kimi Antonelli too. I also really like the style of Lewis Hamilton.
Skipping
This is my absolute favorite kind of cardio, and I actively do it for my daily HIIT workouts.
Swimming
A refreshing way to cool off, stay active, and push my breathing and physical endurance.
Cycling
The perfect way to spend a cool evening outdoors while exploring the city and getting some solid cardio in.
