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. Most recently 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.
Across these roles, I bridge computational acoustic modeling with hands-on hardware prototyping to deliver systems that perform in the real world. My work spans the full development cycle from simulation and bench characterization through production validation, with a consistent focus on performance, integrity, and manufacturability.
