Experimental + computational.
Where atoms meet algorithms.
// ABOUT_ME.txt
Sophomore studying Materials Science & Engineering at Texas A&M (Class of 2028), originally from San Jose, CA. I research high-entropy alloy powders and interstitial alloying in the Lavernia Group, and explore simulation-assisted materials design in the Arroyave Group.
This summer I'm interning at Covalent in San Jose — bringing the lab into industry. Eagle Scout. Always looking for the next hard problem.

// EXPERIENCE
01 / EXPERIMENTAL
Processing fundamentals and physical behavior of advanced structural materials. Focus on nanostructured alloys, high-entropy alloy systems, and additive manufacturing — understanding how processing determines microstructure at every length scale.
02 / COMPUTATIONAL
Simulation-assisted materials design bridging atomic-scale calculations with microstructure evolution and property prediction. Work spans CALPHAD thermodynamics, phase field modeling, and AI-enabled materials discovery.
03 / INDUSTRY — SUMMER 2026
Incoming intern at Covalent, a materials company based in San Jose, CA. Bringing research experience in advanced alloy systems into an industry setting — translating lab work into real-world materials applications.
