Mechanical Engineering
I’m a mechanical engineering student at Colorado School of Mines with experience in thermal-fluid systems, experimental hardware, CAD, instrumentation, and automated laboratory controls.
What I do
My work sits at the intersection of mechanical design, thermal-fluid science, experimental testing, and hardware integration.
I enjoy taking a system from an initial concept through component selection, assembly, instrumentation, troubleshooting, and operation.

Selected projects
Thermal Systems · Analysis
Developed an EES model of an integrated power generation system incorporating a Rankine cycle, cooling-water loop, and molten-salt thermal loop.
The project combined thermodynamic analysis, component modeling, heat-transfer calculations, and system-level performance evaluation.
View project →Heat Transfer · Radiation
Analyzed radiative heat transfer within an engineering system using radiation-network methods and surface energy balances.
The project evaluated surface properties, geometric relationships, view factors, and net radiation exchange to characterize system thermal behavior.
