I am an assistant professor of aerospace engineering at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. My research develops new foundational knowledge and computational mathematics and algorithms for computational fluid dynamics (CFD). I have received research and educational funds from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) Computational Mathematics, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Office of Naval Research (ONR), and National Science Foundation (NSF). I am an MGB-SIAM Early Career Fellow (class of 2023) and the Meshing Sub-Committee Chair of AIAA Meshing, Visualization, and Computational Environments (MVCE) Technical Committee.

I received my Ph.D. in aerospace engineering and scientific computing and my B.S. in aerospace engineering with a minor in mathematics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and my M.S. in aeronautics and astronautics from Stanford University. I was a visiting scientist in the Advanced Supercomputing Division at the NASA Ames Research Center in the summers of 2016, 2017, and 2019.
