About

Postdoctoral researcher in Otolaryngology at Stanford University studying complex biological systems through nonlinear dynamics, biomechanics, structural and fluid dynamics, acoustics, and vibrations. My work focuses on developing physics-based and computational models that connect structure, mechanics, and function in living systems.

I have conducted research across leading institutions in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, including Stanford, the University of Michigan, IIT Madras, RWTH Aachen, NTU Singapore, and NUT Japan. My work spans high-impact R&D projects that combine rigorous engineering analysis with biological and biomedical applications.

I am passionate about applying quantitative modeling and computational methods to understand complex systems and translate fundamental insights into real-world impact.
