Welcome! I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate with the Discovery Partners Institute (DPI) at the University of Illinois since August 2022. My PhD research was done at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois. My dissertation focused on geometric & topological methods for analysis of high dimensional timeseries data. My interests are in systems theory, dynamics & data analytics, neuroscience and controls. I obtained my Masters in Mechanical Science & Engineering from Illinois in 2017 and my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M University in 2014. For my post-doc term, I am working with the Hearing Health Institute science team at DPI. I also have a life long love of programming, technology and pet dogs.

I frequently served as Teaching Assistant for my departments. In the past, I have taught the laboratory section of Engineering Materials and assisted in teaching courses in Introduction to Electronics, undergraduate Control Systems, graduate Control Systems, Adaptive & Nonlinear Control as well as a course in the analysis of Nonlinear Systems. A few years ago, I also helped organize the 2018 CSL Student Conference.
