About Me
I am a Mechanical Engineer with a Ph.D. from Georgia Tech, combining over a decade of experience in acoustics, vibrations, transducer engineering, and hardware validation across industry and academic research. I started my career in the automotive industry, where I spent three years leading powertrain NVH optimization: designing active noise control systems on embedded DSP platforms, tuning exhaust psychoacoustics, quantifying noise and vibration transfer paths, and taking products from prototype through mass production.
That foundation in acoustic system design led me to graduate research, first at Virginia Tech studying tire vibroacoustic and structure-borne noise prediction, then at Georgia Tech developing acoustic hologram-based transducer systems including Multiphysics simulation in COMSOL, skull aberration correction, and passive acoustic mapping. At Meta Reality Labs Research, I built compact wearable ultrasound sensing for AR/VR, designing transducer arrays, beamforming pipelines, and real-time DSP systems integrated into high-volume consumer electronics under strict spatial and cost constraints.
Currently, I am an NVH Research Engineer at Matic Robots in Menlo Park, CA, where I lead acoustic and vibration performance optimization across the robot platform — characterizing noise sources, developing measurement and simulation methods, and partnering with cross-functional teams to embed acoustic targets into design decisions at production scale. Across all my roles, I bridge computational acoustic modeling with hands-on hardware prototyping to deliver systems that perform in the real world.
