03 / ABOUT
Curiosity in motion.
I’m a mechanical engineering student at Rochester Institute of Technology, based in Rochester, New York. I love dynamics: understanding why things move the way they do, and putting that understanding to work.
I studied mechanical engineering at Vellore Institute of Technology before joining RIT. Alongside my projects, I’m a teaching assistant for Mechanical Dynamics with Applications and volunteer as a tennis coach with Aceing Autism.
