Biosketch

I am a Ph.D. student in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. My academic journey has been shaped by a deep interest in probabilistic approaches to geotechnical engineering. I am particularly drawn to problems at the intersection of risk assessment, numerical modeling, and infrastructure resilience, where I aim to bridge theory with practical applications.
