I hold a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M University, where my research focused on thermal-fluid systems, energy optimization, controls, and engineering analysis. Throughout my graduate studies, I regularly worked with undergraduate and graduate students on coursework, research projects, and engineering software such as MATLAB and Simulink. My academic and professional experience also includes research with NASA and industrial energy efficiency projects through the U.S. Department of Energy Industrial Assessment Center program.

While I have not worked as a full-time professional tutor, teaching and mentoring have been an important part of my academic career. During graduate school, I helped students understand engineering concepts in thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and numerical methods through one-on-one discussions, project guidance, and technical problem-solving. I was a teaching assistant for Fluid dynamics experiments where I oversaw 100+ students. I also assisted students with MATLAB programming, data analysis, and engineering modeling, often helping them break down complex problems into manageable steps.

My teaching approach focuses on building understanding rather than memorization. I encourage students to develop a strong conceptual foundation and then apply those concepts through examples and problem-solving. I am comfortable working with high school, undergraduate, and graduate-level students, particularly in STEM subjects, and I strive to create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and developing confidence in their abilities.

Approved Subjects

Data Analysis

Data Analysis

I hold a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and have extensive experience analyzing experimental, operational, and simulation data in both research and industry settings. During my doctoral research, I worked extensively with time-series data, signal processing techniques, sensor measurements, and performance analysis to develop and validate engineering systems. I have used tools such as MATLAB, Python, and Excel to clean, process, visualize, and interpret complex datasets. During my NASA internship, I also performed uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analyses to evaluate engineering models and support data-driven decision making.
MATLAB

MATLAB

I hold a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and have used MATLAB extensively throughout my graduate research, industry projects, and engineering analyses. My experience includes data analysis, statistical modeling, numerical methods, optimization, control systems, simulation, and model development for energy and thermo-fluid systems. During my NASA internship, I used MATLAB to perform statistical analyses and evaluate engineering models for uncertainty quantification and sensitivity studies. I enjoy helping students build both a strong understanding of MATLAB fundamentals and practical problem-solving skills applicable to engineering, scientific, and research applications.
Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

I hold a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M University and currently work as an Associate Engineer at Exponent. My expertise includes thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, HVAC systems, controls, and energy systems, supported by research, consulting, and industry experience. I have applied these concepts in projects with the U.S. Department of Energy, NASA, Lennox International, and Exponent, ranging from energy efficiency and thermal system design to engineering analysis and optimization. My goal is to help students build a strong understanding of fundamental concepts while developing the problem-solving skills needed for engineering coursework and real-world applications.
Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics

I hold a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M University, where thermodynamics was a core component of both my coursework and research. My experience includes analyzing energy systems, heat pumps, compressed air systems, refrigeration cycles, and industrial processes through both academic research and industry projects. I have applied thermodynamic principles in work with the U.S. Department of Energy, Lennox International, and Exponent to evaluate system performance, energy efficiency, and thermal behavior. I enjoy helping students understand fundamental concepts such as energy balances, entropy, power cycles, and thermodynamic properties while building confidence in solving engineering problems.
