I study photo-contamination and photo-degradation to enable next generation mask inspection. I completed my PhD in mechanical engineering from the university of Minnesota developing novel laser diagnostic tools for the study of turbulence.
I am a research assistant in the flow field imaging lab, working with Prof. Jiarong Hong in developing novel optical tools for flow measurement and diagnostic applications. In this regard, I primarily work on digital inline holography, a single-camera 3D computational imaging technique that enables high resolution imaging over extended volumetric depth relative to conventional imaging. We use a laser illumination and capture the interference of light scattered by objects in the field and the unscattered portion of the beam as concentric fringe patterns i.e. a hologram. Once recorded, the holograms can be numerically refocussed to allow extending the depth of field of the imaging system. Research projects:
ME4331: Thermal Energy Engineering Laboratory 1. Developed new experiments for transient conduction and schlieren imaging for thermal measurements 2. Incorporated active learning strategies for instruction and prelab activities to improve engagement from students ME3332: Fluid Mechanics 1. Developed new experiments to demonstrate fluid mechanics concepts including lift, drag, surface tension, and drag crisis 2. Incorporated novel teaching strategies to recitations with aims to improving student performance and engagement with the material
