About

I am a Ph.D. student and Graduate Research Assistant in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of South Florida (USF). My current research focuses on the development and aerodynamic analysis of flexible porous wings for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to explore fluid-structure interactions.
Before beginning my doctoral studies, I spent five years as a Researcher at TCS Research, focusing on On-Orbit Servicing (OOS) applications. My work involved developing technologies for orbital debris removal, on-orbit refueling, and space robotics. I continue to
contribute to this field as a Visiting Researcher at TCS Research.

Reasearch Areas:
Aerodynamics & Aeroelasticity
Flexible Porous Wings
UAV Design
On-Orbit Servicing (OOS)
Space Robotics
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
Orbital Debris Removal
