My PhD research focused on developing physics-based models to understand how adverse weather, like rain and icing, affects rotorcraft aerodynamics, especially for vertical lift systems such as multirotors and eVTOLs. I built integrated computational frameworks combining high- and low-fidelity methods to simulate aerodynamic performance degradation and validated these models with experimental data.

Beyond my doctoral work, I am passionate about aircraft design, aerodynamic analysis, surrogate modeling, and multidisciplinary design optimization. I have experience analyzing experimental data from flight tests and wind tunnels to validate and improve aerodynamic models.

I am also interested in the process of integrating aerodynamic insights into flight test planning, data processing, and software tool development to support design verification and certification.

My goal is to contribute to the creation of reliable, efficient, and innovative aircraft that perform safely across a wide range of operating conditions.
