Hello, and thanks for visiting my website. I’m an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Website under construction; please e-mail me to get in touch! Thank you.

Note: I am actively recruiting graduate students to start in Spring 2026/Fall 2026 at UMass Amherst. Research areas broadly include: multi-scale/multi-physics/multi-material topology optimization, computational mechanics, design for advanced manufacturing, and AI/ML for engineering design. Students interested are encouraged to e-mail me, and I would be happy to discuss further.
