Hi, I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Nuclear Engineering at NC State, working with Dr. Mihai Diaconeasa.
My dissertation, which is on probabilistic circuit simulation, demonstrates that PRA models spanning millions of events can be quantified on consumer GPUs in a matter of seconds.
The research, in one page.
In 2024, I was part of a NCSU lead research effort that developed a limited-scope, pre-conceptual design PRA model for the Aalo Atomics microreactor, following the process defined in NEI 18-04.
I completed my Masters in August 2023, also in nuclear engineering.
During the summer of 2021, as part of my MS thesis, I interned at Idaho National Laboratory (INL), developing model checking tools for assessing the reliability of autonomous digital instrumentation & control systems for fission batteries.
Between 2018 and 2020, I worked as a PRA software engineer at The B. John Garrick Institute for the Risk Sciences, UCLA on a collaborative project with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), led by Dr. Ali Mosleh. I served as the PRA software development team lead for part of that time.
I completed my undergrad studies in 2017. Research was a big part of my undergraduate experience. I enjoyed working with grad students at UCLA SmartHealth, building cloud/edge machine learning tools for smartwatch-based health monitoring.
From 2014 through 2015, I worked on embedded systems research in Dr. Majid Sarrafzadeh's lab in the Computer Science department at UCLA.
