Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States

I am a Mechanical Engineering PhD student at MIT, with a B.S. in Environmental Engineering and a M.S. in Chemical Engineering. I have many research interests, but my main focus is water treatment technologies that are applicable to both space travel and to improving quality of life on Earth.

Past research experience:

  • Environmental transport/transformation of Trenbolone acetate.
  • Quantification of thermal hydration/dehydration cycles of eutectic salts.
  • Effect of fluid flows and hydrophobic interfaces on amyloid crystallization.
