About me
I am a PhD student and Graduate Research Assistant at the Center for Advanced Vehicle and Energy Systems (CAVES) Laboratory at The University of Akron. My work centers on power electronics and electric machine control, driven by a strong interest in how efficient energy conversion enables advanced electrification.
I am particularly drawn to the interplay between power converter design, control strategies, and emerging semiconductor technologies, and to the role they play in electric vehicles and future energy systems.
I welcome the opportunity to connect with researchers, engineers, and industry professionals working in these areas, and to exchange ideas on the future of electrification.
