I’m a Ph.D. mechanical engineer with extensive experience in engineering education, robotics, biomechanics, medical-device development, and engineering research. I earned my B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Tech and have spent more than a decade studying, teaching, and practicing engineering.

My teaching experience includes progressing from undergraduate teaching assistant to head graduate TA and then finally to an instructor of record at Georgia Tech. I’ve taught hands-on mechanical engineering courses, led workshops, and mentored interdisciplinary student research teams through engineering design, experimentation, and problem-solving.

Professionally, I work as a Research Engineer developing medical technologies and medical devices. I also have experience in engineering consulting and robotics through Exponent and my own robotics and mechanical design consultancy.

I can help with:
- Mechanical engineering
- Robotics and automation
- Engineering mechanics and dynamics
- Engineering design and problem-solving
- Biomechanics
- MATLAB/Python for engineering applications
- Senior design and engineering projects
- Undergraduate and graduate research mentoring
- Graduate school and engineering career guidance

My approach is practical and individualized. I don't want students to simply memorize equations or follow a solution template—I want them to understand why something works and develop the ability to solve unfamiliar engineering problems independently.

Whether you're struggling with a specific engineering course, working through a challenging project, learning robotics, or looking for guidance on an engineering research or career path, I can help you build both the technical understanding and problem-solving skills to move forward.

Career Development

Career Development

I am a Ph.D. Mechanical Engineer with experience spanning engineering research, medical-device development, robotics, engineering consulting, and entrepreneurship. I have navigated the transition from undergraduate and graduate engineering education into research, consulting, industry R&D, and engineering leadership. I can help students and early-career engineers explore engineering career paths, evaluate graduate school and industry opportunities, develop professional goals, and understand how to translate technical skills into career opportunities.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

I have extensive experience communicating complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences through engineering consulting, medical-device R&D, university teaching, presentations, and client interactions. As a biomechanics consultant at Exponent, I served as a project manager and primary technical point of contact across 75+ projects. I can help engineering students and early-career professionals prepare for technical and behavioral interviews, explain engineering concepts clearly, structure responses to technical questions, and effectively communicate their research and project experience.
Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

I hold a B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology and have more than a decade of experience in mechanical engineering education, research, and professional practice. I have taught undergraduate mechanical engineering at Georgia Tech and have applied mechanical engineering principles professionally in medical-device R&D, biomechanics consulting, robotics, and mechanical design. I can help students understand both fundamental engineering concepts and their application to real-world design and problem-solving.
Robotics

Robotics

My graduate and continuing research at Georgia Tech has focused on robotics, biomechanics, and human-machine systems, including research on bipedal robotic locomotion over granular terrain. I have also worked professionally on robotic and automated systems through my mechanical design consultancy, including legged robotics and automation projects. My experience includes robotic system architecture, mechanical design, prototyping, experimentation, system modeling, and engineering problem-solving. I can help students connect robotics theory with practical system design and development.
Writing

Writing

I have extensive experience communicating technical information through research publications, engineering reports, technical presentations, teaching materials, and professional consulting work. As a biomechanics consultant, I translated complex engineering and biomechanical analyses into clear, defensible conclusions for clients, attorneys, and other stakeholders. I have also developed technical content and instructional materials as a university instructor. I can help students improve technical writing, research papers, engineering reports, presentations, and the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively.
