I am a passionate Mechanical Engineering Graduate student specializing in Computational Solid Mechanics with a thesis at Michigan Technological University. As a student researcher, I mostly work on the topics: Fracture Mechanics, Elasticity/Continuum Mechanics, Plasticity and Finite Element Methods. I also work as a Coach/Tutor at the Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics (MEEM) department's Engineering Learning Center (ELC), where I assist undergraduate students to understand concepts and solve problems in subjects like Statics, Dynamics, Mechanics of Materials, Mechanical System Design & Thermodynamics.
Apart from this, you can find me to be an avid music geek who spends his spare time listening to music or sometimes watching sci-fi movies.
