About my research

My research uses high-fidelity CFD and aeroacoustic simulation to understand and improve the performance and noise characteristics of aerospace systems. I am especially interested in making simulation useful for real design decisions: not only predicting what happens, but also explaining why it happens and how engineers can improve it. Together, my work supports a broader goal: using validated simulation to design quieter and more efficient aircraft technologies. For future electric aircraft and urban air mobility, noise is not a secondary issue; it is central to public acceptance, certification, and practical deployment. My research aims to help engineers predict, understand, and reduce noise early in the design process.
