Work grounded in the idea that a useful model should illuminate the behavior of a real system—not just produce a plot.
Developed a dynamic model coupling a FLiBe primary loop to a nitrate-salt secondary loop. Evaluated intermediate heat-exchanger behavior, temperature-dependent fluid properties, PI control, and operating tradeoffs for a plant-scale heat-transfer target.
Applied experimental oscilloscope data and a Lagrangian-informed learning workflow to reconstruct nonlinear coupled-pendulum dynamics. Compared learned dynamics against physical baselines through trajectory and frequency behavior.
Contributed to custom building-automation work by translating mechanical drawings, points lists, and sequences of operation into technical scopes, estimates, and clear coordination across project teams.
