Organizational leader and experienced analyst focused on novel weapon system concepts, system of system architectures, and modeling mission-level impact in the air domain.
• Identified critical nanostructure spacing to keep superhydrophobic surfaces dry underwater. The results of this work were featured in the Chicago Tribune, Science Daily, and Northwestern Now. • Simulated superheated liquid sustained within a material’s nanostructure to improve boiling heat transfer used extensively in industrial processes. • Teaching Assistant for a 60+ undergraduate fluid dynamics course. Lead classroom discussion sessions with students, drafted exams, and graded assignments (2013-2015).
• One of 65 national fellows selected to advance scientific research and prepare for a STEM career in support of DOE’s mission. • Designed boiling heat transfer experiments at the Advanced Photon Source synchrotron to orchestrate the first high-speed X-ray imaging of the Leidenfrost collapse in water.
