I am a Postdoctoral Associate in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Georgia (UGA), where I conduct research at the intersection of advanced materials, electrochemical energy storage, multifunctional fibers, and sustainable manufacturing.
My current research focuses on developing multifunctional fiber-based materials and devices that integrate electrical conduction, thermal management, sensing, and energy-storage capabilities. In particular, I am interested in hollow and hierarchical fiber architectures for high-performance conductors, integrated liquid cooling, environmental sensing, and fiber-shaped energy systems. I also work on circular carbon manufacturing, including the conversion of waste plastics into high-value carbon materials for structural and electrochemical applications.
I obtained my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Northeastern University in 2025. My doctoral research focused on advanced materials and interfaces for all-solid-state batteries, including sulfur-based cathodes, solid electrolytes, high-energy-density composite electrodes, and operando and ex situ characterization of electrochemical reaction mechanisms.
More broadly, my research seeks to connect materials chemistry, manufacturing, mechanics, and electrochemical engineering to develop scalable multifunctional materials for next-generation energy, electronics, and sustainable manufacturing technologies.
