About

Hello,I’m a PhD candidate in Electrical Engineering at Wichita State University, specializing in smart load restoration and power system resilience. My research focuses on optimizing energy distribution systems during high-impact events by integrating advanced modeling techniques, including MILP and agent-based approaches.

With a background spanning academia, R&D, and industry roles—from electric machine manufacturing to IoT-based renewable energy systems—I bring a multidisciplinary perspective to solving real-world energy challenges. I’ve led and collaborated on projects involving grid optimization, renewable integration, and electric propulsion design.

Driven by curiosity and innovation, I aim to bridge the gap between academic research and practical implementation—creating systems that are not only intelligent but also resilient, equitable, and scalable. Whether I’m modeling power networks, prototyping machines, or mentoring students, I strive to build solutions that matter.
