About

I’m a computational AI scientist working at Geminus, focused on bringing physics-informed machine learning into real industry problems. After finishing my PhD in Aerospace Engineering and Scientific Computing at Michigan—where I spent a lot of time on tensor decompositions and compression for big datasets—I wanted to get out of the purely academic space and work on solutions that actually get used. Now, I build AI models that help energy, manufacturing, and other industries make decisions faster and more efficiently, using a mix of physical simulation and ML. My interests range from scientific machine learning (SciML) to large-scale data, model reduction, and operational AI. I enjoy projects where technical rigor has a clear, visible impact—especially when it pulls together ideas from different fields. If you’re interested in the practical side of AI or want to connect over shared research interests, feel free to reach out.
