I am Associate Professor in the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Oklahoma State University, where I was tenured in 2021. Since 2015 at OSU, I have taught graduate and undergraduate courses in engineering mathematics, computational methods, numerical analysis, data assimilation, and computational fluid dynamics. I received my PhD in Engineering Mechanics from Virginia Tech. My field of study is centered upon the development, analysis and application of advanced computational methods in science and engineering with a particular emphasis on the development of hybrid physics-AI/ML methodologies in fluid dynamics across a variety of spatial and temporal scales. I am a recipient of the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR), 2018 Early Career Research Program (ECRP) Award to develop scientific machine learning algorithms for multiscale closure modeling of turbulent flows. I have been a PI or co-PI on research grants from the DOE, NSF, NASA, ASHRAE, Oklahoma Center for Advancement of Science & Technology, the Research Council of Norway, and the NVIDIA Corporation, and my work has been recognized through several distinguished awards and nominations including OSU 2022 Distinguished Early Career Faculty Award and CEAT 2020 Excellent Scholar Award.
