About Me
I'm an Aerospace Engineer and Research Scientist. With a strong and diverse background in Aerospace, Mechanical and Systems Engineering, I enjoy working on multidisciplinary projects and being a part of a dedicated team.
Research and developmental work is in the core of my work ethics. Any engineering problem will end up in me doing R&D work to find innovative and efficient solutions. I apply this same thod in my daily life too. To dig deeper into existing issues, think philosophically and getting to the root of a problem, is the only way I have been able to achieve success in various aspects of my life and career.
I succeed by applying my skills and experiences into different facets of society. Whether it being a research scientist with Stanford University, or an Aerospace Engineer by profession, a pilot with Civil Air Patrol, an Astronaut Candidate trainee, running my own educational institute, I climb my ladder of ambition by giving back to the community.
That's simply how I thrive..!
That's simply what brings out the best in me..!

EDUCATION
Master of Science (M.S)
San Jose State University
Getting my Masters degree in Systems Engineering enabled me to get a broader understanding of Engineering systems and their cross-functional interactions across different domains. Graduate research in developing efficient designs of reentry vehicles and masters thesis on aviation accidents data analysis helped me gain more analytical skills in aviation and space sciences.
Bachelor of Science (B.S)
Florida Institute of Technology
In-depth theoretical work with practical experience in Aerospace motivated me to pursue my career in the Space industry. Courses like Air-breathing engines, Aerodynamics and Partial Differential Equations made me gain a deeper respect for this profession.
